I’m not talking the carbon dioxide from any of India’s heavy industry. Rather, India has joined China in complaining that developed nations aren’t doing enough to reign in their CO2 emissions.
The specifics of Shyam Saran’s complaints, over not cutting 40 percent below 1990 emissions, would be most directed at the U.S. and Japan, especially as he also blasted the two countries’ attempt to move from 1990 to 2005 on the baseline year for carbon cuts.
I would say the chance of an “accord” rather than a “framework” being achieved at Copenhagen in December is now below 50-50.
