The scary thing is that China will make all the mistakes made by the already industrialized world but on a much bigger scale. Profit will triumph over the environment. Consumerism will bury environmentalism.
The first world could use the excuse that nobody ever thought much about the consequences of industrialization. The second and third world show no sign of taking steps that show that they had bothered to learn from the development of the U.S. and Europe.
Imagine 50 years hence after the Chinese and perhaps Indians have adopted the same habits we've displayed the past half-century.
