In a discussion with a representative of China, you state that China contributes the largest amounts of greenhouse gases of any country in the world. The representative responds by stating that the developed world including the United States has benefited from 200 years of fossil fuel use and industrialization that has led to a high standard of living. Why shouldn’t the citizens of his country experience the same standard of living? How would you respond? Is the situation today different from that 100 years ago?
