Quote from traderNik:
The burning of fossil fuels is bad for everyone and everything and needs to be reduced as fast as possible, especially with developing countries bringing infrastructure online without the resources to make sure it's powered cleanly (read: they're going to be burning a lot of oil in unregulated settings). This is true regardless of whether CO2 emissions are raising the temperature or causing the ice mass to melt. Simply put, we need to reduce the amount of fossil fuel we're burning and we need to invest in technologies which mitigate the damage caused by the fossil fuel we (especially developing countries including China) can't help but burn.
But what if we make a better planet for no reason?
