Again, it isn't exactly a "deal" if all contributions are voluntary and there are no repercussions if announcements are not fulfilled, except being shamed on the world stage.

The US contributions were pretty much in line with those of other rich, first-world countries. So the word "crazy" seems a bit far fetched, it would mean all other rich countries are crazy too. If you feel scammed, you're just as scammed as these countries. But sure, China (not a first world country) could contribute too, can't really argue that one. If pulling out is the answer to that - I guess that depends if you believe climate change is a threat to mankind. Which I just assume you don't. If you do, it's the wrong move.

That also goes to the not helping the country part. Fighting climate change would help the US. Unless you believe climate change is a scam.
