One half of the world wants to phaseout oil and coal by some specified date (usually 2050 is mentioned).
The other half (India, China, Russia, some African countries) maintains that their current and future economies need to continue extraction and trade in fossil fuels beyond that date. "Total phaseout" is seen as existential danger to their economies and, ultimately, international competitiveness.
Is total phase out fair?
