That's pretty one sided though. It's like saying the autocrats don't burn an insane amount of fuel, thereby also exacerbating the issue. If they were all using solar panels, scaling down their fossil fuel industries and actually gave a damn about the environment, then we'd be in agreement.
Oh there will be climate refugees, no doubt about it. But whitewashing the autocrats use of petroleum and using it to justify breaking a system meant to moderate something makes me think you're the left wing equivalent of republicans.
You do not game systems, you reform them, or even replace them... so pass laws that put embargos and sanctions on imported petroleum instead.
Good luck with that.
I didn't say anything about the behavior of autocracies, why are you dragging that in? Nobody expects moral behavior from them anyway.
I am just saying that a lot of evils are in the world simply because democracies ignore their supposed values whenever convenient. This tends to come back.
