It was maybe in a 100 years 30 years ago and we're all getting record temperatures and an alarming number of once in a century storms/floods now.

Talking about developing countries is a common tactic by the right to distract from the fact that the vast majority of total historical emissions came from the US and Europe.

Regardless of whether historically it came from those places, currently emissions are largely from: China, USA, India, Russia and Japan. China alone is **30%** of global emissions.

I come from the U.K., and it’s all well and good for us to switch to greener ways, but if it’s in the name of the climate, we’re not doing much. If all emissions of the U.K. stopped that would stop a whole 1% of emissions, so not much. I don’t see much point in clambering for countries like mine to cause great economic and social stress to our society when somewhere like China still pollutes so much. The switch should be natural and gradual, not rushed and forced.
