    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.

      One does not have to be without fault, to see and criticize it in others. Otherwise it becomes too easy to just repeats the same mistakes. This is actually wisdom, not stupidity, where we try to learn from history. Even other people’s history.

        No. It’s stupid to expect countries to halt their development while we sit on our comfortable asses. Especially since it is our living standards that brought us into this mess.

          I’m not asking anyone to halt their development. I’m asking you, you specifically, to realize that if they don’t, then global warming happens. So, global warming is gonna happen. We no longer have control, it’s not our choice to make.

          So, onto the next problem.

            You’ve flipped flopped between we don’t need to take drastic action, and no action we can take can help.

            Conveniently, both means you get to ignore arguments to actually do something to mitigate the damage.

            Which really is your entire motivation.
