How is the rest of the world behaving....environmentally? [View All]

[theophilus]

The attitudes in this country are fracking stupid, at least in the leadership, at this time. People, in general, don't seem as environmentally aware as they were in the 70s and 80s. But the U.S. is, relatively speaking, a small portion of the world's population. We waste and use a lot more resources than our numbers justify, granted, but we are still just a "drop in the bucket".

So, what is the rest of the world doing? I assume that most other developed countries are more enlightened. Will the U.S. be marginalized by the rest of the world? Is there hope that this downhill slide in environmental quality will be turned around?

How about China and India? Are they environmentally sensitive? Russia? Is there any hope or is the whole world giving up on saving our environmental standard of living. Can we say good-bye to good air, good water, safe food, and ultimately, life?

Please, somebody give me some good news......or tell me the sad tale. Whichever.
