    We need people in the west to commit to drastically lowering their carbon footprints

    Aaaaaand you’ve succumbed to corporate propaganda. Carbon footprint is a term coined by BP marketing to shift blame to individuals instead of corporations so nothing would be done about it.

    We need the GOVERNMENTS of the world to start drastically reducing corporate carbon footprints. Which will then force peoples’ footprints down when the cheap high-carbon goods and services are no longer available.

      Or we could just do both - while corporations are the largest polluters and need to be regulated, individual measures such as switching to a plant based diet are still useful.
