Not if they are allowed to develop too. Are they not allowed to develop to western living and energy use standards per capita?
- melling 4y agoNope. I’ll let you do the math. Here’s a hint. China and India combined have 2.5 billion people
- freemint 4y agoTaking before pandemic numbers of GDP and population numbers by 2100 from here https://www.populationpyramid.net/population-size-per-country/2100/ https://www.populationpyramid.net/population-size-per-countr... , the top 15 of economies will only account for 40% of world population. ~25% coming from India and China as you said. So 6 billion people living in these "small economy countries" will not appreciate your sentiment.
