Closely related, but not 100% on topic...
Global environmental concerns are one of the few instances I'd be in favour of foreign meddling. It affects everyone, after all, but how far do you go with it? The sewer we know as the Ganges River has more of a local impact than the Amazon and to a lesser degree the waters around Hong Kong, so where do you draw the line? Sanctions that affect the most vulnerable? Military intervention? Yeah, that comes with it's own ecological price tag. Remember this?

Interesting question, and one I haven't given much thought.
