Climate change: How worried should you be? – the view from India at COP21 talks in Paris

India feels they’re being unfairly blamed for blocking climate change progress.  India emits a large amount of “Carbon” but if you amortize it over India’s population the amount of “Carbon” per capita is very low.

There is a strong effort to move the responsibility for change from countries like U.S.A. to countries like India.

America’s response is to switch from Coal to Natural Gas, which is still a fossil fuel and therefore still causes a problem.
