Only if you believe a hugely populated, low carbon-intensity and poor country should bear the costs of CO2 in the atmosphere that was mostly released by rich countries during their industrialization.

"Rich western countries have mostly caused this problem, now you stay poor so it doesn't get worse" wasn't going to go over very well with Indian voters.

Burdening India with unfair co2 restrictions while the developed countries continue to emit ginormous amounts just to maintain an unsustainable lifestyle.
