That's demonstrably false as a leader in environmentally friendly technology (both participation and development). Specifically, what you consider cooperating is not what I consider cooperating. The confusion of politics and the physical condition of the earth, is not constructive.
- sirtaj 9y ago"Why should we do the right thing unless other countries do exactly what we want" is pretty transparently a political argument, so I'm afraid that ship sailed already with you at the helm.
- jack9 9y ago> Why should we do the right thing unless other countries do exactly what we want That's not my sentiment. The right thing is the question at hand, as to attempting to combat global warming, not hoping for some pyrrhic PR victory. If that's more effective than the data, it's time for a new strategy anyway. Inflating the importance of these treaties is shockingly naiive. Short term, expensive, non binding actions with proven bad actors is borderline counterproductive.
