    will stop having a job that feeds them.

    Good socialist values on display right here comrade.

    you cannot do instantaneous magical transitions without middle stages

    But how much of this coal is being used to produce solar panels, or even food, compared to how much is being used to power industries that are effectively worthless to human society.

    Fast fashion, plastic shit, vapes. The things you force people to produce because the idea of feeding them without them having to sweat is offensive.

    Other countries are choosing to consume less during this crisis (out of necessity, I’m not saying altruism) while China is choosing to consume more because it can simply burn more coal.

    When the rains stop coming and crops wither in the heat, climate change isn’t going to care whether it was fair that some countries got to burn more coal than others.

      Those other countries have all had their own industrial age where they polluted infinitely more than China is currently doing. And those countries refused to adopt cheap solar and other renewable energy and caused the climate crisis because they were exploiting fossil fuels as their ploy to keep the world dependent on them.

      Hell who’s responsible for most of the green energy those countries are adopting nowadays?
