Real climate change can only happen with the cooperation of the worlds biggest polluters: China and India.

  China's one / two child policy is doing a lot more for the environment than what we are doing in most western countries. That's a sacrifice I can't image us ever making in our democracies.

  So the rest of the world should do nothing until they do something instead of setting an example or starting somewhere? What's the point of this statement? Just keep pointing fingers to the black sheep, and the black sheep will defend itself by saying that it is only fair that it gets to do what the other countries got to do before environmentalism was a thing. Yeah, that'll solve problems. It's defeatist standpoint, and as a statement it only serves to undermine any green initiative not taken in China or India. You could pose it as a question: “But how can we get China and India on board?”, and you might provoke more meaningful responses.
