Where non-western carbon emission leads to revulsion (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abhorrence

'revulsion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'where non-western carbon emission' is the wordplay.
'non' suggests deleting specific letters.
'western' becomes 'w'.
'emission' is an anagram indicator (letters flow around like an emission).
'where' with 'w' taken out is 'here'.
'here'+'carbon'='herecarbon'
'herecarbon' anagrammed gives 'ABHORRENCE'.

'leads to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abhorrence that I've seen before include "Hate" , "Disgusted loathing" , "Feeling of revulsion" , "hatred" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
