Weaver... I agree with you in principle, but if I had to argue the point I would note that we've been major polluters of the world for a bit longer than most other countries. That 300 million Americans consume 29% (Fox News) of the global oil supply, and last but certainly not least because we can.
As far as I can tell America has always lead the way in solutions for global issues, problem is South America, China, and dozens of other small countires have enteried into the new global economy. They're just learning the freedoms and benefits of modern technology. It would be great if they participted in global green, but it's not likely - not yet.
When it come to matters of global concern I would like to think that America leads the way.
