The question is: should the West be held to China's standards on per capita emissions?

The answer is that it wouldn't help, anyway. AGW is here. We didn't build the nuke plants that we needed to and now it's too late. The only solution is Geoengineering. We need to shift away from 50 years of failed policy on conservation and minimization of GHG emissions and direct our efforts into controlling the climate directly.

We need to start building the systems to reduce incident sunlight through solar shade spacecraft and increasing albedo by stratospheric aerosol dispersion.
Someone came up with that idea when cooling was the perceived risk in the 1970's. The idea was to spread carbon black on Arctic ice sheets. Aren't we glad that didn't happen?

It has been happening though, on its own. Winds have been depositing black soot, ashes and red dust on the ice sheets around the world.
