On the global scale, we are now past whether or not global warming is a reality and a threat. We move on to a game plan, which naturally requires a scape goat.

Lorrie Goldstein argues that, at the "United Nations’ annual gabfests on global warming," Canada is unfairly picked on to reduce emissions while the two big carbon emission sources, the US and China are mostly ignored due to their key roles in any post-Kyoto agreements as leaders of the developed and developing worlds. Goldstein points out the flaws in argument, and claims these actions demonstrate cowardice.

The contemporary global warming debate has now shifted to revolve around the responsibilities of developed and developing countries.
