Rich countries can’t wash their hands off with net-zero targets
Live MintThe sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change comes in four parts, three of them by three different working groups, while the fourth integrates the findings of the three working group reports into a synthesis. If the developed countries carry out the expenditure on sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere the expensive way and on carrying out diverse kinds of research and development that would lead to separation of carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide for use as a building block for petrochemicals, that would be climate justice: after all the rich countries got rich by spewing carbon dioxide and other noxious gases, millions of tonnes of them, into the atmosphere, and they should bear the primary responsibility for removing it from the atmosphere, undoing the damage they have wrought. Climate justice would mean rich countries coughing up the funds, at least a goodly part of it, needed for mitigation and adaptation by less well-off nations. Climate change used to be fake news for American politicians bankrolled by the oil and gas industry; even American Big Oil is now working on mitigation and renewable energy.
