Let us return to system (5) and analyse it
graphically. We can get the value as a parametric
function of from the first equation of (5) (figure
1). It is obvious that the set of admissible will
belong to the interval where is a solution of
the equation and . On the other hand, , or, since then ( is a
solution of the equation ) and . Using
the analogous considerations for the second equation of
(5) (figure 2) we get and
. At last,
we have

Let us imagine the situation when
From the first equation of (5) and the inequality (7)
we get the following chain of inequalities:
From (8) and the definition of the utility function
follows that
i.e., the utility function of the second actor is
determined only by the common interest. A graphic
illustration of this statement is shown in figure 2. From
the altruistic viewpoint the emission must be reduced to
zero (). Simultaneously the utility function of the
first actor, , and his equilibrium
strategy, , depends only on his behaviour: he minimises
the own losses knowing that his altruistic partner will
always reduce his emission to zero. In other words,
the first actor can be considered as an egoist, who does
not take into account the interest of another partner.

There are two marginal ways to realise the inequality (7): either the emission is very small so that the expenditures for its reduction are relatively small, too, or the coefficient of egoism is very small. In order to realise this we have to suggest that either the actor B is a very small country with low total emission or he is a typical rural country with agricultural economy, or he is a ``super-altruist''.
Such a sort of discrimination among actors is a typical consequence of the non-negativity of emission, so that is necessary. But if we neglect such a constraint, then the equations (5) will have a solution with also in the case (7). Note that if then (and, on the contrary, if then ). In other words, extending the set of admissible strategies, we provide the existence of an equilibrium strategy in any case. How can we interpret a ``negative emission''? For instance, this may be the formation of some carbon sink on the territory of the country by means of reforestation.
