Fair enough, you put a much better solution that benefits both sides.
I'm not downplaying/disregarding the climate issue, at that part the I agree with the developed nations: it's a real thing, the increased rate of flooding across Europe and India last year supports that. Every of us (regardless of ethnicity &nation) is responsible to take care our common homeland.
What I disagree is how they are playing the issue putting more responsability on us than themselves, unfortunately our industry is still very traditional and we can't move overnight to renewable ones, rather than taxing us, they should be aiding to move our industry facilities to green solutions, that is the ideal one, noone gets harmed whilst making our planet more greener
100%. A lot of people ("leaders") are afraid to compromize their immediate personal security for the greater good - which ironically, will only bolster their personal security.
My personal belief is that: a.) We (in the west) need to seek less cowardly leaders, and b.) We (global engineers and lower-level leadership) need to right the course by taking action.
In my own industry, I'm in a position to influence the type of engines/power sources used in global shipping. That's only 2% of global harmful emissions, but if I can be a part of reducing that to 0%, I will be happy. I do that all day long, and trust me, I get sideways stares and rediculous remarks that what I'm proposing is impractical. It's constant, but I don't care. The math is the math, and my response is "prove that I'm wrong." They never can.
Truth is - middle tier leadership is going to get the job done.
