We are at emergency levels

Not going to bother responding to most of what you say because it's the usual opinionated rant from a person I am guessing is an elderly white male who knows he is correct because he says so. Same old same old.

Getting on to this bit which we can argue about.

"Also why do you claim that population is the issue when we in the West produce many times CO2 of undeveloped countries?"

This statement has me mystified because it's just not true. "

It is of course totally true. Developed countries are responsible for at least 70% of cumulative CO2 emissions between 1751 and 2017. Per capita emissions show that Australia is currently one of the worst.

You don't accept per capita emissions as a valid measure because you have the same attitude as most of the deniers that post on here, i.e. " I produce 20 times as much CO2 as the guy in India and have done for 50 years but why should I do anything when there are more of them?"
What a selfish, stupid way to look at the situation.We all live on the one planet.

Rant ... ? You must be kidding or have never experienced a real rant.
"elderly white male" ... As distinct from a wet behind the ears, self opinionated inexperienced youth who knows he is correct because he says so.
Such a silly insecure attitude. Why not just address the issues raised.

"You don't accept per capita emissions as a valid measure because you have the same attitude as most of the deniers ... etc "

Nope, nothing to do with what you or I accept. Nature does not use "per capita" as a factor for climate change.
That's how it is.
Whether you like it or not.
Likewise, the fact that Western countries produced most CO2 emissions until recently is now irrelevant except as part of the current issue.

If you want to start another thread on per capita emissions as a moral aspect of Australia's position, no problem. However it won't make any difference to the World's climate ... AT ALL

You need to send your moral outrage pleas to the countries that are producing the majority of CO2 now and as projected.
Np doubt they will agree and cease the process of ensuring their re-election by uplifting the standard of living to that espoused by Western societies for so long.
Yeah right.
