Yeah Alexsau1991, you and I will never see eye-to-eye on the politics of this thing.

You're right about how the Council is selfish, and that's why Shepard will be on his own. The Reapers won't stop at Earth, but the Council will not want to engage in any plan which involves saving the Earth which they will consider to be hopelessly lost. Shepard is out to save his species homeworld along with the rest of the galaxy, so the Council will be a hindrance until they are forced to change their minds or are eliminated. This is consistent with the obstinance the Council has shown in both ME1 and ME2 as well as their attitude toward humanity.
