You reap what you sow
The US is gasoline obsessed, is the prime World polluter, has stuck two fingers up to the rest of the world regarding it's ongoing devastating effect upon the environment (Kyoto ring a bell), lacked the requisite regulation for safe offshore deepwater drilling for convenience sake and now you turn around with the boo-hoo's. Nobody cares.

I'd be interested in your comments on China when commenting on "the prime World polluter".

Well they've only just been taken over by China, so the Chinese have a way to go before they've caused as much damage
Not that either party gives a fuck

It depends on criterion used
If it is per capita pollution then the usa carry all before us, but if you want to look at total effort in the raping of the planet then they are beaten in to second by China.
