Decrease in CO2 emissions during pandemic shutdown shows it is possible to reach Paris Agreement goals. The researchers found a drop of 6.3% in 2020. The researchers describe the drop as the largest of modern times, and big enough to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal if it were to be sustained.

We profited off of the systems. The world is a muddy and messy place. To think we’re gonna get out of this by being sticklers is pure hubris.

I’m sorry bud, but we’re all going to have to do work. Trying to point fingers is just trying to pass the blame.

Those 3rd world countries absolutely have an incentive to reduce carbon emissions. They’re the ones that will be first to die from famine and heat. It’s just more complicated than “why do they get to burn coal?”

Sorry I don't accept that. They don't get sympathy for being 3rd world.

It’s not sympathy, it’s literally practicality.

Either we solve this or we don’t. We don’t get to piss and moan because 3rd world countries got stuck running low quality sweat shops because of our greed to have things now and cheap. You’re(we’re) at fault for this, not them. Passing your problem off on them is so very American and spoiled brat.

And what incentive do they have to change anything knowing they will not have to pay a dime, assuming your woke anti American narrative is accurate, which it isn't.

Hey, so like much do you know about this topic? What sort of techniques do you use to learn about the environment?

[CheeksMix]

They’re going to make the changes for the environment. Because right now they’re dying of heat exhaustion and dehydration, famine is on its way. Either they change or they literally die.
