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.

The oil sands a are an easy target, and Canada (especially our politicians) are easily bullied by the big bad USA.
People in China don't read US magazine and don't give a flyng f--- who Dicaprio is (let alone the politicians who wouldn't give him the time of day), and therefore he has no clout.
He (and others of his ilk) are clearly choosing the battles they can win, not the battles that might matter.
