Does that take into account the centuries of industrial pollution that was emitted by western nations or the goods manufactured in the countries you mention that are bought in the west? What about deforestation and other ecological changes that decreased the planet’s natural ability to absorb or process CO2?
So how exactly do we judge what is fair?
