Quote:The contribution of developing countries to global emission is 63% and not 76%.Russia is a low income developing country. Your source is wrong.

Quote:+ You are the main consumer of their products.They are the main consumer of their products. China's international trade is responsible for only 13% of their total emissions.

1) No. India + China are already making efforts for their own energy transition. But there must be ways for such countries to longer invest in coal energy plants but even more wind and solar instead (+nuclear of course).
2) Russia has deindustrialized since 1991 that’s why it’s one of the few countries who are able to meet the pledges made in the 2020 Paris climate summit.
3) But the Chinese are mostly poor people. They don’t consume a lot as individuals. (same applies to Indians)
4) Ordinary Chinese people are not that rich. There is an emerging high + middle class in China but the great majority of them are poor people working for low wages. + child labor still exists in China.
This doesn’t mean that they are not dangerous. The Chinese Communist Party truly aims to turn all of the west into its economic vassal. But as I said, the cause of their industrialization is mainly cheap labor + cheap costs for companies who are willing to invest in China
