On a carbon emmisions scale who cares right now about india's carbon footprint. They produce about 5% of the total carbon emmissions in the world while china is at about 30%. The oil sands is under 1% of the total world emmissions.
I don't understand why greenpeace and Leonardo are making the oil sands a priority. Cut out the oil sands and make little change. Or is this about money?
Maybe "who cares" is strong wording but trying to make a point.
