Carrol, do you think the developing countries, if left to their own devices, will embark on green development? They will do the only thing feasible for them to lift their populations out of poverty, and this is development based on fossil fuels. Which will grill the planet. By telling the United States to keep out of the rest of the world you are implicitly promoting a paradigm based on nation states. If we want to survive as a species, we have to overcome this paradigm, we need world-wide co-operation forced on the nation states by a world wide mass movement. Whether this is realistic or not, this is what I think is needed; if someone has better ideas, please speak up.
