A big thing everyone seems to miss is, you need to pressure more than just Europe and America.
The United States, the European Union, Canada, and Japan together barely stack up to China's emissions alone. Not only that, but America and the EU have seen a decrease in emissions since 1990; Canada and Japan saw a small increase, and China has gone up by almost a factor of five. In under thirty years, China went from half to double the US's emissions.
If you want to reduce global carbon emissions, a major source of global warming, something will have to be done about Chinese industry. Constantly ragging on America and Europe to do more will only get you so far.
Maybe talk to India, too, though more for the trash in their rivers, which as with greenhouse gas emissions, China is the worst offender for.
You don’t get to call it Chinese industry when American corporations are the ones outsourcing their labor.
