Well it is bad if it's used specifically as a pretext to prevent climate change mitigation without actually caring about social justice, which is what this depicts. There's no judgment of social justice in general at all in the paper this originated from.
But that’s not a thing that happens at any meaningful scale
Perhaps not at a meaningful scale, but believe me, it happens. I see it regularly on /r/collapse, the discourse being usually (roughly) "but third world nations also have a right to industrialize in the same way, they should be allowed to produce CO2e gases to that effect" instead of the much more sane "western nations should be forced to provide funds and technology to third world countries so they can industrialize and improve without additional emissions".
Can you elaborate ? as a disclaimer, I'm a mod there. I should also mention both the mod team and the userbase leans pretty left (see the related subs for example - the largest overlapping one being the old CTH sub) - which is a common consequence of becoming collapse-aware anyway.
We collectively cannot emit any more CO2 though. It's not an option. In fact we should've stopped decades ago. I'd prefer they attack western nations directly instead (nukes made this mostly impossible though I guess) if the second is not possible.
