The whole thing is just a game of shifting blame in my opinion anyways. The biggest emitters? The US, China, India, the EU, Russia... And where these projects are without exceptions? Random poor families in countries already not contributing to the problem much.
- ars 3y ago> The biggest emitters? The US, China, India, the EU, Russia That's just a list of the worlds biggest countries. https://xkcd.com/1138/ https://xkcd.com/1138/

- ars 3y agoI guess you didn't bother to look at your own link? Which clearly shows the biggest emitters are NOT that list.
- realusername 3y agoYou should have read more carefully. As an example, Americans emits 36 times more per capita than Congolese do. So no, nothing is even close to be linear here and pretending that it is is nonsense.

- infecto 3y agoI have not verified the list but you are correct. Anecdotal but this kind of green washing happens a lot with richer nations. People rally behind a cause to save the world while doing no real change on their own part.
- realusername 3y agoI think those are modeled after the charity NGOs where you help poor families but the result is weird and a bit insulting when applied to climate change. No, buying cooking stove to Ugandan families won't solve climate change, they aren't part of the problem. Reducing fossil fuel use in the developed world and a few other big polluters will.
