A carbon fix?


A carbon fix?
Instead of asking developing countries to accept absolute limits on carbon emissions, a proposal has been unveiled requiring them to improve the carbon efficiency based on their economies. Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, rich industrialized nations agreed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2010. At that time, developing countries argued that fixed emissions limits would unfairly stifle their economic growth. This new proposal should help to reduce carbon emissions from developing nations while encouraging their economic growth.
