You have 1 million dollars and you aren't willing to spend even 100 dollars to fight climate change. I have only 100 dollars and you, the millionaire, are forcing me to spend 50 dollars on that cause.
How is that fair?
There is nothing good here, much less perfection. US and China, only 2 countries, can do far more to fight climate change. I want Amazon to be saved as much as anybody else. Deforestation of Amazon is something large scaled stuff and protecting it is also a big task. If we want Brazil to stop Amazon deforestation, we must also make sure that counties like US, China must also take similar big steps.
- xvilka 7y agoNot sure about the US, especially today, but China does a lot[1] for fighting climate change and deforestation. [1] https://www.rapidtransition.org/stories/how-china-brought-its-forests-back-to-life-in-a-decade/ https://www.rapidtransition.org/stories/how-china-brought-it...
- teddyh 7y agoIt may be unfair. So what? We aren’t aiming for fairness here, we’re supposed to be saving the planet, by any means necessary, by fair means or foul.
- fulafel 7y agoI don't think you can claim that all other big emitters are doing so little. EU, China, etc are doing various things. The US is the black sheep today but hopefully they will snap out of the tea party soon. Eg China: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/07/china-is-on-track-to-beat-its-peak-emissions-pledge/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/07/china-is-on-track-to...
- mayankkaizen 7y agoApologies for being vague. I agree with your comment completely. I was specifically critical of US and to some extent China.
