Trying to involve the origin of someone or making personal attacks is going off-topic. Your moniker has 'troll'' word in it and hReds' pathetic start makes your comment classic case of trolling.

EU emitted a lot of greenhouse gases before their scientists could understand that their industrial progress already had caused a lot of environmental damage. India was already behind major European economies before we won our independence. If you really kept tab on climate change related news then China and India both planned to invest good deal in renewable energy resources. But coronavirus pandemic changed the scenario. Electric cars cost more than ones driven by fossil fuel. Electricity generated by windmills, solar panels and natural gas is also not cheap. Any government tries to reduce the cost of producing electricity to have least possible expense and invest it in welfare schemes. But your point is completely valid. I am not proud of India making the 'phase out pledge' getting toned down to 'phase down'. It is really bad it was environment minister of India who intervened to change the term. The problem is with humongous size of population, limited resources and political insecurity. Those factors are stronger than will of a bunch of well-informed citizens and also the people who have means to buy solar powered inverters and/or electric cars. Electricity generated by natural gas reduces the emission levels but it doesn't solve it. Someone has find a way to greatly enhance the efficiency of solar panels. Another way is to use synthetic micro-organisms or algae to generate energy. One US firm has been trying to work on that for more than a decade now. But if they fail then China and India are not going to compromise on their industrial progress. Its not my stand. Its how government of both countries have been acting and will act. P.S. : Tesla has no showroom in India. I am a college student and own en electric scooter. But I am part of small minority who has some awareness about the environmental issues and the majority either doesn't know about it or won't care if they come to know.
