India is well behind China in its development phase - so don't really see anything there.

I was more talking about Canada/US/Europe in my statement but China is starting the process to fix their pollution woes.
Well that's a start. But

Um china's giving the greenlight to 155 new coal fired power plants. They were approved in 2015. These alone will have twice the capacity of germany's coal fired plants and emit the same amount of carbon annualy as Brazil.

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.
