  > You should look at the impartial nonpartisan data I provided and do simple integration before you claim that, moving forward, the West will be what matters WRT climate change. Your source looked at cumulative emissions per country, not per capita, even then the west is way over represented in your own source. > WRT the past, your "baked in" argument makes no sense and is in any case irrelevant. We have 1.5-2 degrees of warming baked in, even if the world stopped pumping out CO2 tomorrow. Most of that is from the West so we are responsible for that. > Moving forward, if the West drops to zero emissions today, the developing world will burn the planet alive, if the climate models are correct. If we drop to zero emissions tomorrow we will have created the technology and the model for the developing world to also get there. That's what leadership is.
