> Climate change didn't start today, so it makes no sense to blame whoever happens to be today's top polluter as the culprits
Blame isn't helpful, period. Industrialised nations industrialised by polluting. But CO2 in the air is orders of magnitude more difficult to recover than carbon unburnt.
Most CO2 was emitted by the industrialised world. Most CO2 we can prevent from being emitted will come from India and China.
There is no good guy bad guy here, just places with a higher or lower return on action.
