hc, your guess seems to be wrong. I am afraid to say.You argue that "India and China will suffer far more serious costs as a consequence of global heating than will the US or Europe."

What is your basis of that argument? Why will they suffer more? Do you assume that a life in India and China is more precious than that in the US and Europe?

Do you really believe that they are terrified by the possible defeat of the US bill? Can you believe yourself, honoestly?

Do you think they are after charity or compensations? It is now that developing countries have been giving charity and free compensations to the developed countries, because the latter emit more than their rightful "permits" to do so on the per capita basis.

Why do you call it charity or compensations for developing countries? Is that the best logic you can come up?

You argue that their voluntary cuts not convincing. What do you expect them to do? Have the developed countries reduced their emissions to the levels in either India or China on the per capita basis?

I simply fail to understand your logic.
