I was tempted to rant about the usa.
I dislike greed I dislike excessive consumption etc
The point I should have made for the consumption of coal in China and India was is it is not unreasonable for them to follow a coal energy solution. To a certain degree they have little choice.
Or another way to put it is it will be hard to change the desire of developing economies to have a fraction of the energy used by developed nations.
Bottom line for me is humans are not going to change consumption. It will only get worse. Pointing out we are changing the climate won't change a thing.
Do scientists really think quantifying the problem will change human behaviour.
Turn on the tv next sunday and check out drift racing and the v8 super cars..do you think humans who crave that entertainment will change to loving a good foot race.
