Sure, it’s incredibly hypocrite. We are hyperhypocrites. The biggest of all. Can we now move on and do something about climate change? Or are we so gung ho on

Sure, it’s incredibly hypocrite. We are hyperhypocrites. The biggest of all.
Can we now move on and do something about climate change? Or are we so gung ho on blameculture that we would rather respectfully stay silent while the newcomers take their sweet time repeating our mistakes, destroying the earth in the process? It would be unfair if they didn’t get their turn at destroying our planet from within, after all.
We are far too slowly realising the magnitude of the issue. There is no time to awkwardly “you first no you first” at the door while the damage is compounding.
We made a mistake. Yes. Let’s not stick our head in the sand just because that’s the polite thing to do, now, please.
(edit: I should have counted to 10 before posting that :) sorry. to clarify: my issue is purely with the focus on hypocrisy. I find it often drives us from a solution rather than towards one. the less we focus on whose goat was originally insulted by whose grandpa, the more readily the village can put aside its strife and work together to stem the rising tide.)

- ummonk 8y agoThe developing nations would happily sign up if the developed nations made substantial transfer payments (read: trillions of dollars a year) to them in exchange for developing countries reducing their CO2 emissions. If the developed nations are serious about fighting climate change, that's what they'd be doing.
