Obama calls for a combined approach to reduce emissions

The US president has expressed his appreciation for the Chinese/Indian proposal and called it a "fair way one can agree on". However, he stressed the need to "fight this global crisis on a global level", which means that every agreement must be based on a combined approach taking not only per capita emissions, but also the aggregate level into consideration.

President Obama announced his willingness to reduce emissions to the the EU level, but also made clear that any agreement has to consist of a population cap as well.
