What is "Global Equity" as noted by the author of the nonfiction book, This Changes Everything?

It is Klein’s opinion that global equity is part of the climate change debate. Proponents of global equity make the argument that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases that have accumulated over roughly two centuries. As such, those nations who were early polluters have contributed the majority of the emissions. Klein reports that many developing nations that have contributed the fewest emissions are being hit with the impact of the pollution simply because of geographics. To persuade fast-growing nations like India and China to reduce emissions, early polluters like the U.S. and Europe should take a larger share of the burden in terms of resources and technology. According to Klein, conservatives are adamantly against this process referring to it as a redistribution of wealth which they consider to be socialistic not capitalistic.
