A Good Bush Policy

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/13/AR2008071301723.html I proposed this policy in my law school thesis as an important way of getting the developing world on board to achieve climate change mitigation. It should capture a lot of low-hanging fruit (ie, cheap ways to reduce emissions) and encourage a more conscious environmental ethos among third-world governments and businesses. Though modest in size and impact, it would at least make a good start in this area of mitigation. But, more important is the potential for it to create positive momentum on a number of levels: the sense of international equity, economic structure, technological dispersion, efficient allocation of emissions reductions.
