    I don’t know if you’re attempting to play the fairness card with current emissions while ignoring historical and ignoring per capita but no one’s buying that here.

    Assuming everyone is only in it for their own greedy short term gain without care for everyone else

    • US can handle it. Sucks for the rest of the world
    • China is racing for renewables, EVs, rail. They’re going to beat their own record at transitioning a huge economy with huge people
    • India is going to struggle. They already have problems with climate, lack of water, over population, and poverty. They don’t want to obstruct growth by investing in renewable energy, but their own climate, their own people will be among the hardest hit. Now the solution is buying air conditioners for all those people? It may be fair but it’s too late and they can’t afford the cost to their own climate
