    This is the new angle the oil industry is pushing.

    The world isn’t going to end due to climate change even if we do nothing, but it will become a much worse place to live and millions will die. When young people think humanity is doomed then they’re less likely to demand action because “it’s hopeless anyway”.

    We need to push back against the narrative that all is already lost and nothing we do matters.

      India is also the most populous country in the world currently and I think our percapita usage has not reached western levels. Atleast not US levels.

      Though, yes, we do need to transition to solar and we currently don’t have a Marxist-led govt like China(Would be cool if our leaders became pragmatic Marxists, but very wishful), but I think we are looking into solar decently.
