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.

Red,

If Australia was able to kiss the unicorns bottom and have ZERO CO2 output, how will that effect the tipping point.

Effectively GDP of a minnow is where you want us & to achieve what in the scheme of things.

Your per capita isn't a metric that will save the world.
