If you want to pump out hope, then get the politicians and voters to actually do something. And by something I mean actual proper actions and not just some band aid solutions that barely get us below 3 degrees. So far I see absolutely fucking nothing.
Why look towards developing countries?
Are you proposing that they shouldn’t reach the same living standards as us? Or should we lower our living standards to match theirs?
I’m proposing we do not attempt to control their destinies. That means we cannot control their carbon. This in turn means that whether severe climate change happens or not is out of the power of the west to control. It is Modi’s decision to make. We can only observe, mostly helplessly.
So, we need to focus on things we can help with.
Unless you know of something we can do to influence overseas carbon that I don’t. An embargo perhaps? Blockade maybe?
Yeah, no, sorry. Come back when our glorious West is actually climate neutral before pointing fingers towards countries that are still developing. This is ridiculously stupid.

Oh, it’s too late to stop it. What, you gonna propose we invade India and halt their emissions? Or ask Modi to be a nice guy?
It’s time for prevention of worsening+mitigation.
