Harvard project proposes rich nations cut CO2 first

Reuters: "LONDON (Reuters) - Rich nations should make the first cuts in greenhouse gases while developing countries carry on business as usual for the time being, according to a plan set out on Monday by a Harvard University project.
This is one of four proposals by the American university's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs to negotiators who meet for U.N. climate talks next week in Poland.
The current climate pact, the Kyoto Protocol, expires in 2012 and governments are scrambling to agree a new treaty by the end of next year.
'The new agreement should be scientifically sound, economically rational and politically pragmatic,' Professor Robert Stavins of the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements said."
