The climate doesn’t care about “per capita.”
My point is it is rediculous to argue for geoengineering while pointing your finger at the third world, when the country with the largest historical emissions still relies heavily on coal.
The world the west is confronted with is this: Chinese and Indians want to live like Americans. The legitimacy of the government in places like China and Bangladesh rest on being able to deliver 6-8% GDP growth every year. They won’t do anything to jeopardize that, and we can’t control what they do. So carbon capture is going to have to be a pillar of any climate mitigation strategy.
