It is going to take a worldwide effort of nations willing to take it as seriously as we do. Instead of people simply saying it is our fault, why not blame nations that are not contributing to the solution, yet they will reap the benefits once we do find the cure. People just have to face the fact that there are certain problems in our world that will take a worldwide effort to solve. America can't do it all anymore.
