Here in the UK I still hear many climate sceptics. Also arguments from developing countries that they're less responsible due to them being industralised for much less of a time. Would argue on the last point that the last quarter millenia of tech and social advance mitigates their effects.
The UK's "overshoot day" is in May. This is the point I try make to people who are sceptical about making personal decisions in their life to reduce consumption and demand because they feel other countries aren't pulling their weight.
- nicbou 4y agoMy favorite argument is that China - a very populous country - pollutes more and therefore it's out of our hands. Nevermind North America's disastrous per capita emissions, despite not being the world's factory. It seems like everyone will point fingers right until collapse.
- imtringued 4y agoThese people never heard of cumulative emissions. China isn't responsible for most of the CO2 that is in the atmosphere. If you want to talk about fairness then the west already blew their CO2 budget.
