      1% of china’s co2 is massive, don’t underestimate it… and also, it’s a colonial mindset to think india of all places to reduce their co2 emissions by themselves, taking into account they’ve been fucked by the imperialists for so long.

        not just India, the reason western countries are green is because they offload all of the carbon emitters to the global south and then at the same time, blame them for it. it really is gross

        Lol so who can reduce India’s emissions? Isn’t it a colonial mindset to think that India needs help to reduce emissions, India is an incredibly educated country. Billionaires in India live in skyscrapers. When I was in India people with masters degrees would rather work as drivers for white NGO or embassy workers because they were paid and treated better than if they worked for the Indian government or at an Indian country, it was insane. Why are people still building coal power plants? Pakistan has just started building out solar en masse because they realise how bad the environmental problems are starting to become, whats stopping India? There are states that were run more effeciantly than others in India, see Kerala. The fact of the matter is large portion of the Indian ruling class were fine with mismanaging the country as long as they got theirs. People all over the globe sat on their hands when we could have been building very different economies since the 80s. That’s 50 years of inaction. Whatever I don’t care, when global heating reaches +3 degrees by the end of the century we will all be fucked.

          no, reducing co2 emissions means you need to either heavily invest in renewable energy or reduce production or both, you crackers have been profiting from the third world for centuries and now you come and say hey india you’re polluting too much (we already did) stop doing it and fuck yourself. i’m not saying india shouldn’t do anything, but you white boys standing there pretending you know how to fix the climate crisis YOU created by telling exploited nations to stop producing is literal imperial speak. india emits 15 more times co2 than pakistan, they’re not comparable, pakistan has a way easier path to green energy.

          Why are people still building coal power plants?

          probably because they’re brown stupid people who need a white boi from the burger reich to tell them to stop producing co2, right? thank you for your service, you have fixed the climate crisis in india.
