the whole problem was basically inevitable

(in fact... just realizing that maybe Lavos from Chrono Trigger could be a metaphor for this... maybe?)

fossil fuels are basically a natural booby trap waiting underground millenia after millenia to be sprung when civilization finally progressed far enough. I don't see how that could have been avoided. and now there's basically nothing we can do about it except try to plan to survive the coming changes.

America will likely be #2-3 on the list of polluters for a looooong time simply because of its population and industralization, but it is improving at least somewhat. More could be done (such as a greater focus on cleaning up trash) but it's China and India that are currently the bigger environmental threats.
all you would be doing by reducing polluters is letting the foot off the gas a small amount, when the gas pedal has been floored for the past ~100 years. there's no going back...
