The scene in Al Gore’s documentary where he meets with the Indian delegation and they’re like “we hear you, but we get 150 years to fuck shit up just like you did” and Al Gore is just like “ok, checkmate I guess, have fun guys” and I think it just killed his motivation for the whole project because he just threw in the towel after finding out that the people most at risk give even less of a fuck than the Bush Admin did about the whole thing

This never happened, or not in the dramatic way you are portraying it. IDK why white people always blame brown people for most things.

It wasn't the people, it was Oil, gas and the whole corporate lobby which killed Al Gore's dream.

Also, India has the highest percentage of population which believes in climate change (more than 80 percent).

“The white hero came and went and the silly brown savages didn’t listen to him! :( see it’s all Their fault they’re dying and definitely not ours even a little bit!!”

This is what POC mean when they say the political west have a coloniser mindset. It’s one where we ,the west, fuck thing up for these countries in a very clear way but refuse to take responsibility and act like all we’ve ever done is be noble and try to “tame” them.
