Why? Why do you think they would give a rat's ass, unless it would be in their own self interest? And if it's in their own interest, what difference does it make who else is on board?

China at least, is finding out already, the hard way, how pollution hurts them, and is starting to make moves to mitigate that. There is a very real danger of them blowing their grand show as Olympic host.
