But the raw numbers are what is killing the planet.
People can talk all they want about lower standard of living, per capita usage, etc in these nations, but the facts are the populations are exploding in the developed nations like India and China. Do not even try telling me they are not developed nations.
They consume far more food than us, far more resources in general and pollute the world far more than us by having much lower emissions standards. As they rapidly develop their per capita emissions will soon overtake ours because of the lower emissions standards.
And if you honestly think that leading by example will work with these cultures you are delusional.
You can swat at flies all day, but as long as the elephant is pooping in the room the situation will stink for everyone.
