Greenhouse Development Rights: the fairest of burden sharing ideas

If you are interested in sustainable development and concerned about the ongoing pointing of fingers at developing nations concerning the division of responsibility for climate change,
Check out Greenhouse Development Rights. It's the latest burden sharing program as proposed by EcoEquity.
Basically, GDR's are the first program to take third world development into FULL consideration, all the while proposing a feasible (but challenging) GLOBAL response to climate change.
Watch the presentation here:

Or download the full PowerPoint (with great notes) and explore it yourself.
Extremely interesting from their definitions of previously ambiguous language utilized by the UN, to the development threshold drawn 125% above the global poverty line (people have a right to DEVELOPMENT!).
I personally am captivated by the concept and can't help but share it. It's the most hopeful I've ever been about an international climate policy, but much work is to be done in order for nations to grasp this. So spread the word if you can, but check it out first.

Hi! I am super interested in starting a discussion on GDRs. I have been exploring the link between climate change and class for a a while now and so far this is the best operalization of the class issue that I have come across (thanks to PJ 
I have read the report (the first one) and one of the issues I see is wrt cost of living and how that would be a function of the threshold...
Any ideas?
