The rest of the world learned its lesson during the early years of the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change, when the U.S. first helped shape, but then failed to ratify, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol:
American inaction is no excuse for global dithering.
In essence you are telling your fellow citizens and mine (Canada; 17.3 tons p.c.) to ignore thousands of your fellow scientists who contribute to the IPCC and that we North
Americans might as well keep
on burning those fossil fuels at a vastly higher rate than any country in the world because the IPCC isn't 100 % certain that such action /
inaction is causing global
climate change!
