It should not be allowed to ruin the world for other people as a living. If China and India keep doing that, we stop buying their stuff. However, if we keep ruining the world for a living ourselves, it is very hard to point fingers at others.
Also, there are still lots of money to be made in renewable energy and emissionless energy consumption. Tax what you want less of, give financial support to what you want more of.

"If China and India keep doing that, we stop buying their stuff." This would cripple the global economy and throw millions into poverty.
