Abstract
Today Asia has most greenhouse gases, reflecting its economic dominance. Most Asian countries plan for increasing energy supply. But at the same time, they have promised decarbonization in the UNFCCC COP21 project. Examining the energy plans of some of the Asian giants, one discovers little of decarbonization.Will Asia be ravaged by the full force of climate change?
