But what about CHINA’s emissions? (and other BS arguments DEBUNKED)

From Just Have a Think.

China and India currently make up around 35% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Some ask why countries like the UK, with only 1% of global emissions, should bother to strive for more national climate mitigation when large developing nations are apparently using coal, gas and oil to fuel their growth. And what about the cost of the green transition? And aren’t we just being ALARMIST anyway? Wouldn’t it be better to accept the warming and adapt to a new world? This week’s video contains one or two thoughts on those suggestions!
