    This paper first reviews the problem of climate change. Secondly, it surveys current and proposed international law in this area. Third, it examines the contextual situation and the difference that have arisen between the developed world and the developing world. Fourth, it reviews the United States's response to the issue and examines the theoretical and ethical considerations implicated by this position. Finally, it recommends a solution that effectively deals with the problem of climate change in a fair and just manner. [From introductory section]
