Climate change and developing countries...

Here's a real debate, if you want one......if you believe in human-induced CO2-caused global warming, do developing countries have to reduce their emissions???
Carbon emissions from developing countries will result in a climate crisis within a generation, according to new research.

Within 20 years they will be producing more CO2 than the rich industrialised countries based mainly in the northern hemisphere.

And even if the 'North' - Europe, North America, the former Soviet Union (FSU) Japan, Australia and New Zealand - eliminated all its emissions immediately it wouldn't be enough to stop severe climate change.

"The South cannot relegate mitigation to the North until it achieves prosperity. In fact, cumulative emissions from a carbon-intensive South have already reached levels that are dangerous for the South itself. They are more than sufficient to create a global climate crisis, even if the North eliminates all of its emissions immediately.
