Countries don't live in a vacuum. Economies are intertwined and dismissing valid comparisons as "whataboutism" isn't constructive. There's an economic cost to preserving forest which developed countries didn't pay in the past, aren't paying in the present but hypocritically expect developing economies to pay. All the while buying cheap soy, beef and labor from developing economies. Funny how everyone wants all the benefits but none of the compromises.
