So it's best to be a bad example? Why wouldn't people then say "If very rich nations can't even do it, then poorer nation surely can't", and suddenly nobody is doing anything?
Also: If you're a developing country, why would you try to buy technology from 50 or 100 years ago? Why wouldn't you buy low-cost technology of 2023, e. g. solar power? I don't see the rock-solid connection that you are assuming.
Also: are you saying "developing countries might, in the future, emit lots of CO2" is an excuse for the current worst polluters to just continue? Would you accept it if I'm a serial robber and used the excuse "I expect a large number of poor people will commit a lot more robberies very soon"?
wow, chill bruh! I didn't say I thought is wrong for those that can do it, do it. I criticised the apparent need for "revolution" over governments on developed countries. if you/me live in a developed country we are already doing better and will continue to do better, no doubt. Just don't flatter yourself thinking that we must do this at any cost because other, poorer countries aren't and won't be for a very long time...
