You say we should not do the right thing because other countries are doing the wrong thing. That is an odd assertion in anybody’s moral matrix. We are trained as children and then tell our own children, “Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.”

Let us contribute to our own health and the health of our planet by moving away from the finite supply of fossil fuels.
