Climate change is probably a bigger issue in the West than elsewhere because the developing world is too busy working to reach the same level of education / wealth / comfort. Maybe it's a little like how economic growth tends to level off birth rates. Once you reach a certain level of comfort you have time to worry about other things than mere survival. Like climate change.
