I'm 78 years old, spending money on the safety of climate and the earth in the future, will not benefit me, a sociopathic malignant narcissist, in any way.
USA is polluting 4 times the global average per capita, meaning about 5% of the global population is producing about 20% of the world pollution.
If USA decide to do nothing, it's a huge setback for the world, and very irresponsible.
