Ok say the person you live with is right. 

I disagree but let’s follow that thread given that’s where you are.

China and India don’t give a fuck - they’re consuming more and emitting more CO2 than ever and have zero intention of slowing down. This is undeniably clear from their actions.

Now what Daniel?

We should keep destroying our energy production in favour of renewables? 

We can convince them to actually follow the western way of reducing energy consumption as we are?

The West should restrict developing countries from pursuing abundant energy sources which highly correlate with wealth production?

If the expert in your house is right - what is the solution?
