Britian has just made an agreement with California over global warning.Why doesnt the rest of US care?

Question

Especially since the US produces a quatre of the worlds pollution.

Answer 1

Yes - here in California we are certainly at the more progressive edge of American society, science, and international awareness. However, it's wrong to say that the rest of the US doesn't care. According to the EPA,

"28 states and Puerto Rico have completed, or are working on, action plans that identify cost-effective options for reducing GHG emissions or enhancing GHG sequestration. This subsection features summaries of, and links to, selected State ActionPlans."

That and more can be found at:

But, you're right, much more needs to be done in a hurry. We all need to get personally involved and active. Our heedless consumption bodes ill for the future.
