Real world trolley problem! You're a developing country. You can either choose to industrialize with your native energy resources and commit ecocide or you can hamper your economic growth and isntead spending money you don't have on flakey renewables from the West and save the environment. In all seriousness, this is kicking away the ladder at its finest, and I've seen tons of policy suggestions even going as far as to suggest global carbon trading schemes, carbon tarrifs, and carbon taxes. Some even have the paternal gall to suggest that this would be good for developing countries since it would help them transition to green sooner. Crimes against humanity? Let me guess, they're going to take the 12 oil producing countries in Africa and send their leadership to the Hague while every wealthy country's leaders get to chill and watch with impunity. (How dare they drill new wells!)
