The Global South is disproportionately affected by climate change and disproportionately ignored by Western powers. People go and say "oh no why are they opening another coal power plant?" but don't consider what other options they might have. China's been leading the development of solar panels, wind turbines, and SMRs, but they can barely meet domestic electricity demand nevermind international exports to the fastest-growing economies in the world.
