When you very oddly specify "growth" you're suggesting that the "West" that has had high emissions throughout your entire life, and almost certainly cumulatively more in that period, are not to blame because other nations slowly increased to output roughly the same amount but still less per capita?
That's harsh.

No, I'm commenting on OP implying the west is not doing enough now on the climate. This is not some commentary on fairness or other political topics.

Ok, but the west isn't doing enough and could very easily have done more, and in doing so would have made it easier for everyone else to do more.

and no party seems to push for shutting down imports from Asia, etc.
