If it would be possible for Kyoto "credits" to be bought, I believe the resulting funds should go towards making cleaner technology cheaper. This way, not only would the developed countries (Canada, US, etc) reduce their environmental impact, but the developing countries (China, India, etc) would be able to purchase technologies that would not have to put them into a position where they would have to go through the environmental pains that others are having to go through now.
Sure China, India, etc want to catch up.. but "lets" make sure they catch up with more modern (read: cleaner) technology instead of the older (read: dirtier) technology.
