The solution is to virtue signal by restricting Western countries’ output while allowing our manufacturing partners in Asia and third world countries to run roughshod over the environment. /s
If climate was actually a priority for anyone in power in the U.S.A. or Europe they would embargo countries that don’t meet emissions standards. All this stuff about shifting blame on to individual consumers is eco theater and equivalent to the TSA taking your toothpaste.

Some burning of fossil fuels might be necessary, but we shouldn’t perturb the market by allowing companies to externalize their environmental costs on the rest of the planet.
