yes, because vast swaths of these countries live in extreme poverty, not because of environmental consciousness.
we are talking about people who swim next to corpses in the ganges river.

[China and India CO2 impact is less than their population's share] > because vast swaths of these countries live in extreme poverty, not because of environmental consciousness. This injects a judgement that I think is irrelevant. The impact on the environment does not depend on the REASON. It depends only on the ACTION. Frankly, with that lead in, I am surprised the above poster did not go on to say: "We should focus on preparing to survive a massive climate change." That was certainly my take-away from the argument.
