    This kind of reasoning is why we are not making progress. It’s much easier to hold others to high standards when you’ve applied these to yourself first. The same goes for countries: it will be easier to pressure China/India when the West has done their part.

      The West can only “do its part” because we’ve shipped all our worst industries to China and India.

        Doing our part includes reducing our consumption. Where things are produced doesn’t matter all that much for this part of the problem.
