In 'minding my own damned business', you mean letting your government play with fire in Afghanistan, be pals with Saddam and the Saudis, etc... before 2001.
There's always talk about the US being isolationist, buy anyone from South America (Guatemala, anyone?) can have another opinion.
The problem with "minding your own goddamn business" is that you are referring to a country whose goddamn business includes depending on resources not available on its territory. Be they oil and gas, or cheap food, clothes, toys or gizmos produced by almost unpaid workers who don't complain.
"they are not computers but totally electronic machines" is frequently used by city officials, it must be prominently featured in the manufacturer or distributor glossy leaflets. At the heart of the Nedap is a Motorola 68000 processsor, when you tell people that it was used in Macintosh and Atari 20 years ago they get a sense that it is indeed a computer.
Why not try for a nuclear winter to offset global warming ?
They seem to suggest these kind of things based on a limited understanding of global warming issues and feedbacks, so why not add to the mess in a way we think we know will cool things down?
Like someone above says, we're so good at adding to the mess, and it's much easier than doing less of anything.
In your neck of the woods, maybe, maybe. Australia is just right now experiencing the worst drought in a 100 years and I should maybe remind you that it's only spring there. Farmers won't even plant seeds as they know they would be wasted (wheat producers in the rest of the world rejoice, it's only human). September in Europe has been one of the warmest on record...
