From a Washington Wire interview:

But after the last 12 years, the rest of the world still sees the United States as the leader of the world community. Because we’re both the strongest economy and one of the two largest emitters and recognized as the natural leader of the world community, it’s important for us as Americans to fully appreciate the role we play. Since this is the most dangerous challenge the world has ever faced and since the scientists have given us fresh warnings that we don’t have a lot of time to reduce global warming pollution, it’s really important for the United States to play the role the rest of the world expects us to play.
