We are all doing a terrible job of it. Don't get me wrong, the US is worse than most but I don't see that as an argument for others to not give a fuck.
Because it seems the US isn't doing much on this front IMHO, despite being the richest country in the world, therefore having enough capital to improve and set examples. Especially with Trump pulling the US out of the Paris agreement. Granted, Biden rolled that back, but still, the deed was done and it sent a bad message to the rest of the world on how the US feels about the environment on the world stage.

Because, usually rich countries should set an example first before talking down to poorer countries about saving the environment. Otherwise, how can we expect poor countries to want improve their environmental impact if even the rich countries who can afford the expenses that come with being environmentally friendly, don't actually give a fuck about the environment?
This is the same inequality as fat-cats telling the working class they need to tighten their belts and suffer austerity to save the economy while they get more tax breaks, bonus payments and government handouts.
I agree. But that still isn't an argument to not do what we can.
And there are other rich countries than the US that do better. ... no it isn't enough but we are gaining momentum. And that is about the only positive thing I can say at the moment.
