The US doing nothing will hardly serve as encouragement. And India also has major coastal cities threatened by climate change. Maybe China does too. Overall "but China and India" is a cop-out, a convenient excuse for doing nothing. China and India are actually investing in renewable energy - unlike many developed countries who have their heads stuck in the sand. And they're justified in pursuing a growth agenda because otherwise who's going to help them when the climate change sh*t hits the fan? Developed countries haven't done squat so far, so can they be counted on to help in future?
