Climate Equity Proposal Would Disproportionately Reduce US Emissions

Less developed nations have come up with a new proposal for reducing greenhouse gas  emissions.  They are suggesting that wealthier nations, who are more responsible for existing  levels of GHGs because of their historic emissions, make disproportionate reductions in GHGs in order to meet future targets.  Since that couldn't be done without greatly interfering with wealthy nations' economies, it appears to be a nonstarter. See the article from Alex Morales of Bloomberg here.
