  • What’s the debate about?

    The current contention between the G8 and G5 nations hinges on whether greenhouse gas emissions should be measured in absolute or per capita terms. The G8 nations believe that the emissions must be calculated absolutely, while relatively more populous developing G5 nations, especially India, believe that it is only fair that this be done on a per capita basis since they have contributed relatively little to the problem.
