Cool, so you have no issues with China, India, Africa accelerating their use of fossil fuels.
- hemantv 8y agoNot really unless US and West want to give subsidies to these countries.
- chillacy 8y agoWhat’s the alternative for them, to not have a middle class lifestyle? Especially since the US is the historic greatest emitter of CO2, and per capita still one of the top? Or are we living beyond our means and unwilling to step down..
- coldtea 8y agoNo, I don't. Especially since those pointing the finger still have the most carbon- and materials-expensive lifestyle, and have refused to sign environmental agreements for decades...
- DennisP 8y agoAt this point, personally, I have issues with anybody using fossil fuels. We do have alternatives now. We can talk social justice and whatnot but it'll ring hollow when civilization is collapsing around our ears, especially since Africa and India will likely suffer before the U.S.
