> the US cutting emissions would basically have an insignificant effect globally
The US accounts for 15% of global emissions while containing only 4% of the population. 15% isn't insignificant. The US also has the bulk of historical emissions - you know the stuff that's already in the environment causing problems. Maybe the US should step up and accept some responsibility for this mess instead of complaining about India and China.
