Unless China and India cut emissions drastically it’s a drop in the ocean. There should be tariffs on the biggest emitters to the point where they can’t afford to NOT cut emissions if they want to trade good and services.
China and India's per capita emissions are about ten times lesser than Americans. Americans should stop driving bulldozers instead of blaming the poor

why does emissions get way more attention than plastics and forever chemicals? that shit scares me way more. At this pace, soon our food and water will not be safe anymore, what's the point of preventing climate change if you won't have water to drink and food to eat?
"from 2035 new cars and vans must not emit any CO2" Wont this effectively kill any ICE vehicle? Biogas, ethanol, HVO diesel, etc.
I don't fully understand these proclamations. Can we really actually electrify everything, everywhere , by then? And what about long distance travel and haul? EV still seem somewhat of a niche in that they have clear restrictions and constraints.
Probably not, which is why that quote is only about "new cars and vans". If that is achieved, most vehicles on the road will still be emitting CO2.

Per capita emissions are a distraction. The earth’s atmosphere doesn’t care how many people were involved. What matters is total emissions. On that front China leads by a factor of 4 or 5 over India and the U.S. which are roughly the same.
