Reply to comment by TommyTuttle in Wealthy Nations Offer Indonesia $20 Billion to Curb Coal by morningburgers
As developing countries become wealthier, their energy consumption also increases. Indonesia is one of those countries.
And we should stop all this bs about pointing fingers on who emits more CO2 and causing more environmental destruction. We're all guilty. Rich countries outsource cheap manufacturing to cheaper countries that cut on environmental standards to produce cheap goods we all take for granted. Then the rising middle class in these developing countries is catching up on consumption rate, topping up on the increasing greenhouse emission and adds to environmental degradation.
We're all guilty, and the sooner we recognise this instead of blaming each other and being cynical doomers, the sooner we could be more proactive as a collective to finding solutions on curbing climate change.
