I lived in a huge third world country for several years, and the amount of destructive waste I saw there, and the universal disregard and ignorance, have convinced me that whatever the US/West does will be cancelled out by horrific destruction of our oceans and air by Russia, China, India, and multiple other countries.
It's cute that people in the West think they are helping, but they have not seen the extent of the destruction originating among giant populations who don't care at all.
The you don't understand what it means to be a world leader. You set the example first, then you use your influence and might to enact change elsewhere, like was done with apartheid and other global ills.
You've essentially just said "we can't be better than any of these other countries so we should just give up". Pathetic.
