You honestly think that is "fair". I see nothing wrong with asking the US to reduce it's per capita CO2 emmissions and not limit other countries to far lower levels and freeze them in poverty. Not only will we be hurt less, we developed countries are primarily responsible for the current elevation in CO2 levels. Do you also think those least responsible should bear the greatest burden?
Of course this means that CO2 emmissions will continue to rise and any claims otherwise are/were manure. Kyoto never was a "solution" it was merely a beginning. I'm sure the hoped for outcome is that developed countries would develope new technology to meet their limits which would then be passed on to developing countries to slow the increases in their emmisions.
