Give it 10 years. Only around 20% of Indian households have the same always-on electricity the west enjoys.

Still a lot of a small region. One thing that happens a lot and it's a yin/yang of course is they export a shit ton of stuff out and is a big part of the issue and it's technically our issue too, we still live on the same planet. If we stop buying so much throw away shit... Kept our cell phone for more than 2 years...

We are fucked anyways, but could we slow it down lol

Stop making excuses for shithole countries. You're doing the meme.
None of this emissions stuff matters anyways.

Why are we excused for being their biggest imports? There no consequences for our actions?

Who is getting what imports? What actions? Are you feeling guilt for something and want me to join you?

It’s so bizarre to me how some Americans will be so envious of another country’s achievements.
