I don't have a problem with accepting that simple fact. All you are talking about is feelings.
What you are "doing" is so that you can feel better about yourself, virtue signal to your peers and help maintain your own delusional belief that you are morally superior to others. You aren't making a difference at all. You just want to keep telling yourself that you are.... and that is for YOUR PERSONAL BENEFIT.
If you could show me that I could make any sort of difference to offset the pollution coupled with the population explosion in the nations which were the worlds worst offenders, i'd be happy to make real changes. But if you're petty arguments are rooted in nothing more than personal attacks and personal feelings and have nothing at all to do with reality, i'm not interested.

You're right on this. Unless all countries join in to save the planet we are fucked. Just the West applying rules will allow those who don't care to up production.
A simple solution is for consumers to stop buying the products that drive pollution. Will that happen? When pigs fly.
This is the same as the argument of large corporation dodging corporation tax, stop buying from Amazon, using Google sites, etc and they will rush to pay their taxes. Once again waiting to see those pigs flying over my house.
