Hi,
Yes, Mr. Newman this is a worlwide problem. America is doing its part for the worldwide enviroment; now its China's and Russia's and Mexico's (etc.) turn to pick up the pace.(after they have figured out to govern there own countries without tyranny and corruption).

On Robert Moragan's comment: It's absurd to compare a rich country like the USA to poor countries like China, Russia or Mexico in their giving of foreign aid. Americans enjoy roughly 8 times the gdp/capita of the Chinese and Russians, and 4 times that of the Mexicans.
Let's compare to the usual bogey of the times, France. They give, oh, 0.3-0.4% of GDP in foreign aid. Pretty pitiful, no? Well, the USA (with at least 1.5 times the gdp/capita and 2.5 times the fossil fuel use/capita of France) manages a whopping 0.1%.
So how exactly is the US "doing its part for the worldwide environment"? If it were to increase the amount of foreign aid it gives by doubling it, then doubling it again, and doubling it again, and so on 8 times over, Americans would still remain richer than the French!

Hi,
Mr. Rippon, if foreign aid actually helped the people and the enviroment of a recipient nation, I would agree with you. Nigeria, a developing nation in Africa, recieves $250 million dollars on average a year in U.S./U.N. aid. Time after time we see that money end up in Swiss Bank acounts under the names of kingpins. Throwing money at the problem won't fix it. -Respectfully
