> It would seem that the biggest contributors to climate change and pollution are developing nations that use carbon based energy (ie coal plants in China, Russia, India, etc). No, it wouldn't seem. https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-per-capita/ https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-pe... Personally, I think the other countries are right to be skeptical when we (USA) tell them they need to reduce emissions. We could easily reduce our own emissions, using current technology that already exists, but we just don't want to - we want to live our current lifestyle and have others do the hard work and sacrifice. Not to mention we look like giant hypocrits after advancing our economy without regard to the environment for 200 years and suddenly are demanding everybody else take the extra care that we didn't. Kylie Jenner from the article doesn't want to drive, the same way most people don't want to bike to work or take a bus. Most Americans could, they just don't want to. I've basically given up hope of climate change being avoided. It's classic game theory. We're better off cooperating, but in practice we're all personally better off if we don't.
