It's easy to come onto HN and dismiss something like this. If the EU agreed to count emissions from China there would be something else to complain about. This is a huge move, and by itself it's not enough, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing. It's also likely that an agreement like this is a required precondition of enforcing this with trading partners.
The actual implementation of this will likely be a little from column A and a little from column B, and will likely have a positive impact on the current situation.
