Normally I would be concerned, but these days, we are well on our way to 3.5C. All this will do is cancel out progess China and Europe is making on renewals.
It is to bad these people do not care how much of a sucky life they are handing their grandchildren. Wait to see what happens when millions of desperate people living south of the 40th parallel start heading north in mass. No wall will stop that.
> China brought 50 new coal plants online in 2025 alone but keep telling yourself that.
If China (and India and …) sees the US and other industrialized doing nothing, why should they do anything?
The most straight-forward way of solving is either through cap-and-trade (like acid rain was dealt with) or 'carbon dividend' (which Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen, Volker, etc endorsed):

Then you put a 'carbon tariff' on imports for any country that does not have a similar system (e.g., EU's CBAM).

Since they don't seem to consider this as an option, why indeed should China or India do anything?
