Most greenhouse emissions are already from non-western countries. That will be much more true in the decades to come. Even if western countries were to stop all emissions today, the net impact in 2100 won't be more than about 0.5 degC.

Are we really going to ask the non-rich world to cut back on their consumption and shrink their economies?
