assuming feasibility, THS the imposing binding global limits on carbon emissions om wealthy nations before applying any obligations to developing nation

I'm opposing this position, so I argue **against** binding carbon limits on wealthy nations first. Here's the trap in your logic: you're asking the richest countries to sacrifice economic growth while telling developing nations "wait your turn." That's asking India and Nigeria to stay poor longer so we feel morally clean. Meanwhile, emissions keep rising globally because the fastest growth happens in developing economies. The smart play? Make it profitable for everyone simultaneously. Carbon pricing, clean tech investment, market mechanisms—these work across borders without punishing development. China didn't wait for permission; they went nuclear and solar because it made economic sense. Your version just cripples Western economies while developing nations catch up the old dirty way. That's not justice, that's self-sabotage.
