Are you seriously chasing the global south while the west is responsible for this mess 90% while still abusing the global south for cheap labour?

> OTOH, if climate change is not primarily anthropogenic the West martyring itself with expensive green energy decisions is a disastrous mistake

Global South, i.e. BRICS+, sells and consumes huge amounts of oil.

Russia has proven mineral reserves of $75T, most in the world by a fat margin. If they stop selling their oil they're done, and so are China, India, Japan, and parts of Europe. BRICS don't have the ability to drop oil without catastrophic impacts on their food and energy systems.

Climate science is hard. The margins of error are wide. They already have a track record of being overly aggressive on predictions.
