The article notes that the total CO2 emission from India and China is rising and crossing the US. This is true but the per capita emission is still a fraction of that of US[1]. It will be impossible for China and India to compete if they aren't allowed the same per capita emission as the developed world. Per capita the US CO2 emission is huge.
