Given that, and the enormity of the endowment, it is hard to argue that we should deny aid to some middle class recipients in order to pacify the complaints of others. More importantly, paying private tuition is a burden for many who take it on. And I sympathize with those who have saved just enough, or earn just enough each year, not to qualify for aid.

Their argument is based on population size: Even years from now, when China and India will be emitting much of the world's carbon gas, the average Chinese or Indian will still be responsible for far less global-warming pollution than the average Westerner. The burden of restrictions, they argue, should therefore be shouldered first in the industrialized West...
