I’d like to see China migrate off using fossil fuels faster as well, but it’s also worth noting that a lot of energy use there is a result of manufacturing goods for western countries. We can directly help reduce emission in China by dropping demand in the west and moving away from consumerism and growth here.
I couldn’t agree more. Not that I wish misfortune to the people of China on the contrary. A unsustainable system of capitalism that demands growth no matter what has brought us into this almost hopeless situation and should be replaced.
Yes! I was a capitalist, but now I believe that capitalistic climate protection is simply impossible. I really can’t see how unregulated economy and climate protection can go hand in hand. We need some form of economical regulation.

Yeah exactly, that’s the only way. Unfortunately it’s hard to persuade people of that.
I think most people do understand it, but they just put short their short term comfort before long term survival of humanity.
