If you want to sign a treaty should you not consider doing what you said you would do?

His post seems a bit retarded, because he's trying to hold us responsible for what's happening in foreign countries, who try to achieve similar goals as us. While 'our countrymen' are actually doing fine.
This forum is filled with Dutch, British and German people who's governments actually seem to do quite well in reducing emissions. He needs to understand that the polluting Spanish, for example, are not our countrymen, and we are in no way responsible for what they do, nor can we force them to do anything.
If he was posting on a Spanish forum then he might have had a valid point.
That aside, I don't see how 'others doing poorly at reaching climate goals' would justify not trying to reach climate goals at all.
