For example, India is a country that emits an immense amount of absolute Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Comparatively, the United Kingdom and Canada emit far lower amounts of GHGs. However, given the fact that the UK and Canada has already gone through their environmentally detrimental industrial phases, is it unfair that a poorer nation like India must have its economic growth stifled by emission regulations while richer countries enjoy greater economic prosperity?
On a related note, should more economically developed countries (MEDCs) be expected to provide financial assistance/compensation to less economically developed countries (LEDCs) as a part of global environmental and climate agreements?
duh..
Yes
