Default First steps for China to take responsibility for CO2 emissions.

The very first steps:

I thought the link to the Hindu Times was apposite.

I'm quite sympathetic to China's dilemma as we polluted like hell as
we moved towards being a rich country. Same with many more western
nations. One standpoint could be; "why should we expect 2nd, or 3rd
world countries to limit their carbon emissions when we polluted so
much, without limits, to gain progress?". Things have moved on,
however, since the 18th and 19th centuries, of and we know far more
about the probable effects of atmospheric CO2, but how much should we
expect China and India (1/3 of the world's population) to limit their
pollution? Shouldn't they have the same chances to progress that we
had?
