But it really isn't that easy to "solve." The western nations can hobble their economies by various laws that may not be effective, and then if China doesn't fix their emissions it won't be a drop in the bucket. In many Chinese cities, the smog is visible and looks like heavy fog. It won't help for the US, who has already reduced 99.5 % of emissions to get that last fraction of a percent if China won't do anything. And Africe...they still burn dung for heat and cooking.
It is about acknowledging that if we proceed the way we do today, we'll extinc ourselves.
China has already understood and considering their system to be extremely adaptive, they'll soon be cleaner than the western world.
But most importantly: In a severe topic as global warming, there's no place for whataboutism. If one can do something to help, he definitely should, no matter what others do
