...came from the developed nations (CO2 stays in the air for up to 200 years), so action should come from the rich first - a contention arguably supported by the UNFCCC itself, which calls for "common but differentiated responsibilities" between nations on climate change. But the reality is that the bulk of future CO2 emissions will come from rapidly growing developing nations, and a climate deal that gave them a free pass would be useless. "We need a process that opens the door for negotiations for all economies," says Eileen Claussen, president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change...

With that in mind, House Ways & Means Chairman Charles Rangel has proposed paying for the patch by raising taxes on the bonuses and fees received by hedge fund and private equity managers - which is to say the bulk of their exorbitant incomes. Right now these moneymen pay a capital-gains rate on those fees and bonuses of just 15%. If they were subject to normal income tax - the one most Americans pay - the rate would more than double...
