This is the answer. You can get corundum (sapphire/ruby) in pretty much any colour you want in a lab for fairly cheap, and it is among the most durable gemstones so is great for bands.

It would likely be pretty impractical to get a solid band of crystal with a good looking gradient, though it could be done. The main issue would be the durability of a solid band without it being incredibly thick. The nicest option would likely be an eternity band made out of individual stones that are each a slightly different colour, which will give a gradient effect.

Here's a map showing consumption-based emissions for countries, and you can clearly see that China and India both export their carbon while America and Western Europe import carbon: https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2

First of all, 90% of those goods being produced aren't even staying in the local economy. The per capita consumption of the Western world dwarfs the higher population levels of the developing countries in which these goods are produced. This is why I'm arguing that the people in Western countries are responsible for the carbon, because it's their goods and business owners are deliberately producing goods elsewhere instead of locally because its profitable.

Second, let's say the EU really did force any goods to be produced according to their local standards. This would obviously include wage/worker standards in addition to environmental standards, so those factories would suddenly become the best places to work. This would provide pressure on other local factories to improve conditions so as to retain workers, thereby uplifting the local economy and helping everyone.

For the sake of consideration, let's say scenario 2 doesn't play out like that and locally produced goods become too expensive for people to afford. In that case, they can then turn to an even poorer country and start doing the same thing the EU did to them, thereby perpetuating the capitalist cycle.

Who do you think owns those coal plants, the people earning $2 a day working in them or the governments/companies running the factories that need most of that power? You forgetting that a significant proportion of those factories are working to produce goods for Western consumers and are contracted out by Western countries. Tomorrow the EU could release a statement saying "we won't allow anything you make to enter our countries unless you follow the same environmental regulations as we do" and these factories would happily charge 3x as much to do that. Asking the workers of a country to be responsible for the negative externalities of things they don't own being produced in factories owned by people that will happily milk them for profit is absurd.

On the contrary, if we instead forced billionaires and top businesses to stop overconsuming then it would halt the exploitation of emerging nations AND reduce our environmental impact. Humanity has spent the past 50 years trying to invent our way out of climate change and it hasn't been successful yet, because we are simply treating the symptoms and not addressing the root causes.

Theyre just a review aggregator that compares the number of favorable reviews against unfavorable reviews. If everyone gives a movie 3/5 stars then it gets 100%.

Personally I'm not going to discuss the Chapelle rating specifically, but there are likely some broader reasons it got the ratings it did.
