It's too late.
This is a slow-moving population explosion with its impact only fully realized when global quality of life normalizes, not when population growth slows, stops, or even reverses.
China is now emitting over double the CO2 of USA. It's no coincidence that China has over a billion people who in large part relatively recently came out of the dirt and started living first-world lifestyles.
India is next in line to repeat China's pattern, another billion.
Americans trying to fix the climate disaster at this point is comically futile, unless you're considering the war path to prevent literally a billion+ more people from joining the first-world. You're simply not in the driver's seat.
- narrator 5y agoThe net effect is all worldwide industry is moving to China because they can pollute. It's a humungous prisoner's dilemma and they're defecting while we're cooperating and none of the climate alarmists are calling them out on it. I'd be paying the alarmists to do this if I was working for China.
