I'm a reasonably hardcore environmentalist but this is true. There will be many armchair experts here suggesting that stuff should be done in Brazil but they never propose things like "let's shut down New York for two months per year", or "let's impose mileage quotas on North American vehicles" or "let's reduce German manufacturing by 50%".

Because none of those things are going to happen and it would hurt a lot of people in a lot of ways if they would.
Living in an economically underdeveloped country also hurts a lot of people in a lot of ways. Why not buffer this suffering with the whole world?
Brazil has a population of 200 million people. Is that a lot of people?
