This is related to the “polluter pays” principle, but it ties compensation to harm that is occurring today because of past carbon emissions, rather than compensation for future harm due to current emissions. That would still seem to leave it with a big share of responsibility (about 10% of all global emissions).

My point is this: No matter how many battles we end up losing in the fight to stop carbon emissions, we can never afford to give up. In terms of emissions cuts, the basic rule is simple: Every ton counts. In the long run, warming will be determined by how much carbon we pump into the atmosphere before we stop.
