You say "change the world", but aren't you talking mainly about the US and Europe?

Which "anti-war movement" or "parliament" are you talking about otherwise?

Will your movements have the same traction in India or China?

- Historically US and Europe have set the global trends. I believe the change must start here. If we lead the way the rest will follow.

- I don't have any (direct) influence on the Chinese government. I am gonna do my part and hope that like-minded people in China will do theirs.

- A fair share of Chinese emissions are actually our emissions anyway. Haven't we outsourced our industry to China? What's the US - China trade "imbalance"?

Historically, over what timeframe(s)? During colonial times?
