True. And it's been happening at the global level for years. Developed countries have been setting pollution goals that they want even developing countries to meet, and the latter complain that the former didn't have to go through their development phase under such restrictions. (Would England have been economically dominant without the industrial revolution? Could the industrial revolution have happened under today's emission laws? We're pulling up the rope ladder after we climbed it.) It's been difficult for people in first-world countries to see this effect, since it mostly happens slowly, and far away. I'm glad this is starting to hit closer to home, and on timescales that impact us directly. I don't have a solution, either, but perhaps the new immediacy will help drive progress in this area.
