The climate qustion is complex and at the same simple.
The West, having 'partied' for centuries, often at the expense of others, now wants them, the others, to 'pay' for the ravages of climate change caused by us, by them not using the fossil fuels we built our civilization on for centuries.
Suddenly, we pretend we've 'reformed' our old aggressive and very bloody ways, though Gaza seems to disprove this quaint idea!
Only the 'others' believe the West should pay for moving away from fossil fuels, disproportionately compared to them. Now it's their turn to... 'party'. The West will never accept this, now the time has come to pick up the tab for the party. This is basically why we're doomed.
One hears the fuckers on the BBC and the Guardian bleating about 'fasing out fossil fuels', this is bullshit. It isn't going to happen anytime soon. Expecting the countries who possess vast stores of fossil fuels to not exploit their wealth is absurd. Is the West then willing to pay them the same amount in compenstation for not exploiting their resources? Of course not!
