China, India reject climate agreement that obstructs economic growth
BONN - India and China have told the United Nations a climate change agreement that slows down their economic growth and locks them into poverty is unacceptable to them.
The UN’s climate change boss said Monday the two Asian giants have taken a series of ‘ambitious’ domestic actions to combat climate change but want to draw the line at anything that would upset their economic growth strategies.
‘Both of those countries are increasingly taking action - at home - not waiting for an agreement,’ said Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

India and China can't accept a restriction on their growth - environmentally based or otherwise.
They have to prepare for the manufacturing jobs that Obama is getting ready to export to them.
Using Cap and Trade and Card Check, Obama will drive the remaining US manufacturing capacity to these two nations.
India and China are just planning ahead here. They will want the US to make all the carbon emission commitments. Obama will help 'em.
