It sure does. One chinese person driving a gas vehicle, shouldn't be blamed over Taylor Swift taking a thousand trips on her jet just because he is from China. Everybody needs to pitch in.

It’s not about blame, and we will never get everyone even in single countries to “pitch in,” much less have the world working together. That’s a children’s fantasy.

The world the west is confronted with is this: Chinese and Indians want to live like Americans. The legitimacy of the government in places like China and Bangladesh rest on being able to deliver 6-8% GDP growth every year. They won’t do anything to jeopardize that, and we can’t control what they do. So carbon capture is going to have to be a pillar of any climate mitigation strategy.
