China, India and the US aren't individuals, but countries. Isn't the global warming personal equivalent "if the wealthy all keep taking lavish intercontinental vacations every other month, why do I need to switch from my car to the bus to get to work, even if it takes twice the time"? I find that a good question, and the usual answer "they're doing that to promote awareness" doesn't satisfy me, really.
