Will the Harvard proposal of allowing developing countries to maintain carbon emissions be adopted?

With a disastrously faltering global economy, it doesn't seem likely that developed nations will agree to emissions caps that slow or prevent economic recovery. Further, letting third world countries go on with fewer (or no) restrictions would be like rubbing salt in the wound. This is an excellent question, but current realities dictate that the answer will be NO.

u mean developed nations like the US....and the US actually reducing carbon emissions? and since the USA is the greatest carbon emitter..why doesnt the UN just tell the USA u have 3 years...enuf is enuf? But instead they will deciede aobut poor countries...
am i the only one disturbed by this?
I mean how many hummers are the people in developing nations driving anyway?

No, you are not the only one disturbed by the out-of-control enviro-fascist movement

No kidding - you have thugs, criminals, terrorists, and comunists agreeing about one thing - the world is going to end in 10 years, 9 years, 8 years, 7 years, 6 years, well some time in the future, unless we can tax the rich people & then it might be ok.

UN = Fum Duckers. i don't want them telling me what to do. :O)

the funny thing is: it's china since '07

but that doesn't matter as long as there still are people who just close their eyes.
and as long as the rich are actually responsible for the world to end, and as long as the rich are actually the only ones which can effort to make a change, then I think to tax the rich people (although nobody ever proposed that) is not the worst idea.

the cheapest way for the industry to produce is without taking care of the environment at all.

23 Illinois Associations to hold Springfield rally against Cap & Trade Bill
http://www.examiner.com/x-21037-Illinois-Statehouse-Examiner~y2009m8d30-23-Illinois-Associations-to-hold-Springfield-rally-against-Cap--Trade-Bill?cid=exrss-Illinois-Statehouse-Examiner
The headline is simple "Climate Change Legislation being considered in Washington will cause Illinois Consumers huge economic pain".

On September 1st, Energy Citizens, the combined efforts of 23 Illinois farm, industrial, retail and energy associations will host a rally in opposition to proposed Cap & Trade legislation at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Illinois' capital city, Springfield.

The rally is designed to bring public awareness to cap and trade legislation that will cost an estimated 2 million high paying American jobs, raise gasoline and diesel prices, raise electric rates and reduce global competitiveness of American companies. The groups intent is to point out the widespread opposition to cap and trade legislation that will damage the agricultural, manufacturing, retail, energy and transportation industries of Illinois which provide the foundation of Illinois' economy.
