RE: EARTH DAY - Why Should We Pay Attention?
@lucygarrod I remember when our air was fill of smog, animals were going extinct. our rivers could not sustain life. We cleaned it up and still cleaning it up.
I never said that third world countries were the culprit. I said THEY NEED TO DO THIER SHARE !!!!!!!!! Clean up the shit they are doing. Quit passing it off to others to clean it up. We clean up our pollution and pay taxes for it.
Denile not just a river in Egypt . You should not tell countries it ok to pollute. Everyone has to take responsibility , Everyone !!!!!!!! They don’t get a pass
@wolfhart I shared the per capita CO2 emissions graph precisely for that purpose. I totally agree that we should not tell countries that it's OK to pollute but as we can see from the graph the developed countries like US are spewing 15 times more CO2 in our environment than India. So I would say if anything India is already doing 15 times more for the environment than US by emitting less per capita than other more developed countries and should not really be seen as not doing it's share. The developing countries never created the problem we are facing today but are expected to do more than the developed countries which is what causes inequality 🙏
No the graph is PER CAPITAL and only takes into account some CO2 emissions . So how can you say that India pumps less CO2 into the environment. Please. China, India, and the Amazon area pump more CO2 into the air then the rest of the world.
The US has more money so lets call it what it is.
People are so worried about CO2 in the air and yet they say nothing about deforestation. The lungs of the earth. Why is that ???
Look my point is simple.
Don’t fall into the BS where its about money or power.
Confirm the research.
Put everyone on the same playing field.
This has nothing to do with inequality.
Thank you for your replies. You are passionate about the environment. That’s a great thing. Keep it up :)
