A fair world deal is required for climate change

Comments on Lenore Taylor “Rudd left with little room to move as reality looms of deeper cuts”, 9/12/2009, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/rudd-left-with-little-room-to-move-as-reality-looms-of-deeper-cuts/story-e6frg6zo-1225808413426

All the current offers and a likely deal at Copenhagen is unlikely enough to meet what the scientific community has demanded to contain the rise of temperature to within 2 degrees by end of century.

The only way to achieve that target is to move to a fair principle to avoid blame games and have emitters pay for what they emit.

Such a principle is to set equal amount of emissions right for everyone, irrespective they are rich or poor and whatever a country's situation.

There are very little acknowledgement from rich countries for such an equality based principle, because that means they would have to pay for their emissions.

Further, they are hypocritical to say they will "donate" to help poor countries for climate change.

What an irony and prostitution by the rich!
