In other words, China and India would be allowed the economic benefits of NOT curbing their emmissions while the United States would pay the cost of controlling theirs.
The treaty isn't a level playing field as it stands.

Well the world isn't fair, never has been and never will, that's just something you have to accept. Of course I see where you are coming from, and I agree that both China and India should do their part as well.
Still, the US is a big polluter (Maybe not as big as China and India, I don't know about that) and should try to limit their emmissions no matter what other countries are or are not doing. In the long run that is what's best for everyone. I like my ozone where it is thank you very much.
