You're over estimating how much impact the West has on climate change.

There's only one solution that is known to be practical and based on non speculative approaches: nuclear fission power. And we have to do it globally. Even if emissions in the West drop to zero yesterday, it won't matter.

Right? The link also indicates that the US is one of the highest per capita emitters as well.
