"I should like to give a rough list of actions that emit CO
from someone I bumped into on the street yesterday.
She is alive (remember that one!)
She took a shower. She drove her car to work. She bought a bunch of greenhouse flowers, wrapped in plastic. She had her laptop on the whole day. She cooked a huge, delicious steak and turned the heating up a little.
After such a nice day of luxury, how can we insist that an indigenous woman driven from her country as a result of deforestation for the sake of our luxury must reduce her CO
emissions, when all her list contained was: ‘I was alive’?
Industrialised countries are responsible for high CO
emissions, so they must pay for this and support developing countries. We cannot leave it at a pathetic pittance. We must leave behind the urge to move only if somebody else does. The United States and China must be called to account forcefully on this matter. Ambition is one thing, but taking responsibility is what really matters."@en1
