That's so wrong. Many industry chains that are the basis for renewable energy(which many countries will need to transition to), generating wind, hydro and solar power equipment are responsible for a good load of emissions, like the steel industry. It is close to impossible to grow an emerging economy without producing more energy, as more of the population would want to drive cars, have lights, sanitation etc. Because of that, as almost all the economist articles, this is mostly centered around developed economies and even those that are developed have a big deficit in energy generation. And I'm giving the simplest example ever. Imagine if we get into consumer habits and spending... The truth is that many countries need to grow and need to raise emissions before lowering them. Not every country is Germany with a big industry and influx of cash to support its environment plans. The "third world" doesn't need to accept living in the wood and shitting in a bucket while americans live in a house of the size of a football field with AC on. If they have nothing to win by caring about emissions, they shouldn't. Raise emissions if you must, to grow. Rich countries that need to set the example, but most of them just don't.
