Just what in the name of all the Nine Circles of Hell did the rich countries expect? The poor countries are not going to stay poor and get poorer just to make things easier on the rich countries. This kind of detachment from basic understanding of human motivations, namely expecting poor non-whites to stay that way is why environmentalists as a whole fail. The Great Powers at Copenhagen have pretty much admitted that much of the effort to prevent Climate Change ties into the global status quo and maintaining the superiority of the rich white countries over the other countries.
Frankly, I agree with the developing countries here. And I am also skeptical that many of the affluent white people pushing the new climate regulations understand how bloody expensive the whole reality will be.
