The same with the west's polluting infrastructure, built decades ago.
Focusing on how dirty the rich world is per capita just gives other nations an excuse to do nothing, even though some of them are now actually the bigger problem because of their huge population.
The most telling measure is the growth (or otherwise) in emissions.
- potamic 4y agoChanging existing infrastructure is obviously quite expensive. But relying less on infrastructure is not. Reducing energy expenditure, consuming fewer goods, immigrating people instead of outsourcing manufacturing, reducing military footprint (some first world militaries create as much carbon footprint as entire countries altogether), are all very reasonable sacrifices we can make to make the climate war more equitable across the human race.
