The issue is pretty complex, if we cease to use fossil fuels right now, there will not be enough energy and widespread unemployment with riots and social disruption will soon erupt. I haven't heard a practical proposal so far, maybe because there is not a reasonable alternative presently.
Besides, everyone, China and India included, should cease to spread CO2 emissions. China will probably never comply. Neither will India.
I am pretty pessimistic about this issue. If global warming really ensues in a global disaster, it will be too late to remedy it, humanity will be decimated, emissions will naturally decline and the climate will again normalize.
I see it quite differently mccoy. If we as individuals seek a good future for our souls progress and upward evolution we must do are part, regardless of what others do or what happens to our planet. We should also vote for candidates that attempt to create an environment that is better and not live by old habits. There are times in history that call for a revolutionary change in attitudes, values and actions, despite the fallout. Being practical is not always the best approach when it does not have consequences that are helpful to Mother Earth and our stewardship to our planet. If a country does what is ethically right it’s karma and soul evolution will be rewarded despite what other countries do. Some people and countries must show leadership. We have that opportunity.
