but again it means USA and UK to stop buying £1m Cruise Missiles... and £300m stadiums for a Olympic game it dont even know if its gonna host... etc.
Good PR is nothing when compared to the ammount of money the US makes from some of it's dirtier industries They would be severely financially challeged if they were to impose the treaty on american manufacturers. As for the UK, we can't afford to help our pensionners let alone clean up other countries pollution issues, knowing the government though they would try to fix the ozone before giving the elderly extra money towards heating in the winter
