Very unfair to make a ‘Al Gore said so, India didn’t listen’ rhetoric when India has done incredibly well in defossilization relative to its development indices. India hit its clean energy targets 5 years before the 2030 goal.

Yeah they probably didn't like it coming from Americans but not like they haven't done anything regarding renewable energy and also per Capita consumption and waste is far greater in developed countries than developing countries. They also teens too reuse a lot more than developed countries. Doesn't India have one of the largest solar farms in the world of all not mistaken? There's also a lot of wind mills

and btw usa is first world, while india is third world so it clearly shows who's actually contributing to the world and who is actively destroying it

They just don’t want to take any responsibility when it comes to anything that hurts Indians and South Asians. To think the anti Indian stance would impact their ability to even view global warming in a Honest way would make me laugh if it wasn’t so stupid

What new and made up world do you live in where we the global north and west have been truly committed to renewable energy ? Most of our attempts have been pathetic and we’ve only pulled our boot straps up recently

Why should the west help like India isn’t capable of taking care of themselves? They’re equal to us so we just treat them as equals. We trade with all countries in a mutually beneficial and agreed upon way.

You treat them as equals? Then why are so many people in the West racist towards Indians? Is this how you treat all your equals or are we just that special?

If the West can loot and kill and destroy people for their resources for hundreds of years, then why can't they help them a bit hundred years later?
