if you find a flaw in my logic, please point it out...
and it's not that that every country is "smarter", they nod now, and pretend they are in agreement, but as soon as they walk away from negotiation table everyone knows damn well that they'll do whatever they want anyway...
that's because:
a. it's very difficult to measure CO2 emissions
b: there are no penalties for not complying
and besides, the whole thing is pointless, no matter what China or Russia (and rest of developing countries) do, they will not get to same level of CO2 emissions per GDP "efficiency" as the western world any time soon, making the whole agreement highly unfair -> why should we make sacrifices, when China, Russia, etc do not?
