lecturing them about reducing CO2 – which is not only unjust but useless.
I don’t think it’s useless.
The rich countries – the colonisers who are responsible the most for this calamity – must pay the cost of global warming, reduce their production and fix the inequality of resources and income they created that is crippling the world.
That would be nice. But it would not protect the climate!
For many countries it is, as their contribution (current and historical) is negligible. Places like Somalia for example.
The problem is that there are some countries with a huge poverty divide, places like India, Pakistan etc. to a slightly lesser degree also China, where a rich elite is using their much poorer compatriots as a fig-leaf for their own extreme consumption.
