Hi, hopefully the heat from the recent C&C vs. K2 debate has cooled enough for me to make the following enquiry! In this debate a point was made in K2's favour, namely, how will all the products imported into a country be allocated to the per capita emissions of the producer and consumer countries? Also, I read recently an article in Resugence magazine by Vanda Shiva which said: "It would be wrong, for example, to put the emissions from the burning of Borneo's forests as a per capita contribution of all Indonesians, including the peasants and indigeneous communities who are being uprooted for palm oil plantations." In both these examples it would seem that the best party to "charge" against their carbon budget would be the corporation that produced the product or burnt the forest (although of course this doesn't mean I agree with the latter!), Tom
