Is it a waste of time trying to save the world when it would be inevitable destroy?

Well this question sounds like it is a personal quote that may root from despair so it can be controversial depending on whom you ask and what you are referring to. In some sense the world, if you are referring "the world" as in the environment, (global warming>>climate change) was more so our* fault to begin with. When we* decided to pollute freely at the cost of industrializing and becoming more advanced (*as a global whole). It may root from human nature, and how we (*as a global whole) decide what to do and "is it right that just because a country like the US. is already industrialized, should it take highly proactive measures to have a smaller environmental footprint and be willing to sell LOW priced types of green energy to other countries who are not as "lucky" as the industrialized country."
