Rush you are once again using a simplistic view of interpersonal and international interactions. It is not true that nations act in their own best interests, nor even individuals.
Individual decision-makers act in what they PERCEIVE to be their own best interests, but the interests of individual decision makers do not always dovetail smoothly with those of their nation as a whole, and certainly not always with other individual decision makers.
In the case of environmental and climate issues, the pushers of our addiction to non-renewable FINITE FILTHY FOSSIL FUELS have at least a strong SHORT-TERM profit incentive to try to enact policies that may not be in the interests of other national stakeholders, the general public or certainly not even in their own long-term interests.
