China and India have been meeting their Paris Agreement targets of their own volition and they’re both investing a huge amount into controlling emissions. They’re the wrong countries to be singling out

Effective climate policy needs to address global inequality and part of this means a greater margin of appreciation for developing economies so they can industrialize. Rich countries like the U.S., Japan, and Australia can also afford to invest more before we penalize others for our own consumption
