I guess I just don't see the same future you do. We are far more aware of our effect on the environment then we were 50 yrs ago. Over that time our fuel efficiency has improved drastically, we have learned that many items we use can be recycled. As a country, we have made very significant strides in terms of our stewardship to the environment. It isn't the U.S. that you should be pointing the finger at when it comes dangers to our environmental future. You should be pointing your finger at countries like China and other developing countries who's factories our spewing pollution into air primarily because they don't have the technology we have.
I beleive as a country we have crossed a line as well. As a country I believe we are past are worst environmental abuses and things will only get better.
Who said anything about ONLY the US being responsible? I was talking about Human Beings in general. I said nothing about a certain country in the quote you provided. However you are correct in saying that we have made some important strides, but overall, as a collective Human Race, we didn't make the mark.
