Copenhagen Full
Should the developed world bear the cost for addressing climate change?
“China’s top climate envoy has said that it plans to seek binding pollution targets for developed countries but reject similar requirements for developing nations at the Copenhagen climate conference next month.”

“Climate envoy Yu Qingtai said that it was unfair to oblige poorer countries to play a role combating global warming since most of the environmental damage was caused by developed nations during their industrialisation over the last 100 to 200 years.”
I agree with China here. Although I’m sceptical of climate change, if it in fact is as huge a problem as people make out, why should developing and under-developed nations bare the cost of it? They’re struggling to even survive and could really do without an extra cost.
