Guttungen skal ha eksamen i morgen i engelsk muntlig. Han trenger hjelp til å omformulere dette til noe enklere. Min engelsk er veldig rusten, så jeg håper noen av dere kanskje kan hjelpe?
Developing and developed countries had different arguments over who should bear the burden of costs for cutting the emissions. Developing countries often concentrate on per capita emissions that are the total emissions of a country divided on the population. Per capita emissions in the industrialized countries are typically as much as ten times the average in developing countries. This is used to make the argument that the real problem of climate change is due to the profligate and unsustainable lifestyles of those living in rich countries. On the other hand, commentators from developed countries more often point out that it is total emissions that matter. In 2008, developing countries made up around half of the world's total emissions of CO2 from cement production and fossil fuel use.
The Kyoto Protocol, which came into force in 2005, sets legally binding emission limitations for most developed countries. Developing countries are not subject to limitations. This exemption led the U.S. (under President George Bush) and a previous Australian Government to decide not to ratify the treaty. At the time, almost all world leaders expressed their disappointment over President Bush's decision. Australia has since ratified the Kyoto protocol.
