Another important characteristic is that one tribe has already enjoyed (and continues to enjoy) significant quality of life enhancements due to much higher consumption of fossil fuel per capita.

Politically, you’re simply not going to get anywhere with asking everyone to suffer “a little”.

Also, the whole detached single family house with 2 car garage on quarter acre lot has to go, but Americans are not going to give it up, and other countries’ people aspiring for it are certainly not going to give it up.

Yep...

Those comments about some economies going carbon negative are making more sense when you see it as a coordination problem with the fairness issue.

Its like, China should grow its carbon consumption by no more than X, and we will go 0 and capture. That is quite possibly a fair way, and still cooperation from all the parties
