I'll bet you a pizza that in, oh, 25 years, when China and India are through the dirtiest of their industrial phase, they will impose draconian laws to clean, save and protect their environments.
They will do so at all because anyone who can afford it prefers clean air and water and a nice garden to walk in.
They will do so draconianally, much moreso China, because they will be less inherently friendly to market forces and peoples' choices. Like California is now.
