states will say, reasonably enough, that they can not bring their populations on board without serious help in those
other areas.
Some issue advocates have argued that the term climate change is more likely to engage Republicans in the issue, however, the evidence from these studies suggests that in general the terms are synonymous for Republicans — i.e., neither term is more engaging

Should a developed nation such as the United
States which has much higher historical and per capita emissions
than other nations be able to justify its refusal to reduce its ghg emissions to its fair share of safe

In arguing that the United
States or

than this amount will not only create harsh impacts for tens of millions of people but runs the risk of creating rapid non-linear warming that will outstrip the ability of people and nations to adapt?
