I don't find this convincing at all. If the producer takes all the responsibility and the consumer none everyone is just incentivized to move their production abroad instead of doing anything constructive. We just need to find a country willing to take all the factories and all the blame, and the rest of the world can call themselves innocent while worldwide emissions stay the same.
- friend_and_foe 3y agoThat would never happen, because if you don't produce something for other people you don't have the resources to pay someone to produce things for you. But supposing it did... > We just need to find a country willing to take all the factories and all the blame A country that does this for economic benefit isn't to blame for it's own sovereign decision to do this??? Do we absolve the US as the largest energy producer because they sell to customers elsewhere? Norway? Russia? Why is it that China uniquely gets absolved of it's emissions? It has 1.3 billion people, surely the vast majority of their emissions are for it's own domestic economy?
