... but if developed countries are asking developing countries to reduce their emissions it means they are implicitly asking for a price raise too, no? So, why not do that?


Not everyone can afford the price raise. Firms in developed countries would be hurt if consumption decreases due to the price raise so who’s going to support this policy?


So could this really lead to a global depression? I doubt it.


Not saying it could. I'm just discussing the incentives involved.
