"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

If we want the world to do things that are in our interest in relation to the environment or other areas of national interest, then yes we have to be very aware of how they see us.
