This is the problem with many developed nations. Climate change became this "feel good" initiative for them. "Well, we will be 100% green. Sure, the impact is negligible, but everyone who cares will look up to us as the first ones! Aren't we great?!"
It doesn't deal with the problem in any significant manner. And as long as the general populace in our countries (I live in Germany) continues limitless consumption and flying every alternate weekend to post cool photos on Instagram, we can't even claim to be green anyway.
Then people get on their high green horse to demand countries like India, which has massive problems just keeping families growing healthily, to cut on coal because "we are also doing it", without any support?! Disgusting.
