When I revealed that I wrote for The Harvard Crimson, one man asked me, “Are you going to write about how dumb we are?” A second warned that...
...emissions on a national or per capita level, the Princeton team proposes a more granular system of climate accounting that would examine the range of individual emissions within countries. Thanks to economic growth, there are well-off people in almost every nation in the world - and the global middle class and wealthy, in India or Indiana, are responsible for most of the carbon emissions heating up the planet. "By taking this down from nations to the level of the individual, it provides a better mechanism for figuring out how to fairly distribute global emission reductions now and in the future...
...sharpest emissions cuts, largely because they have the most well-off people and the biggest individual carbon emitters. And the study doesn't take into account the carbon that is embedded in imports and exports in global trade. But big developing nations like China - with its rising middle class - won't be let off the hook either. "We think this represents a nice path for distributing the share of the work of cutting emissions between countries," says Chakravarty. The Copenhagen negotiations will be hard fought, but the Princeton paper offers hope that we can find a fair way to climate...
