If B is ignoring A, for whatever reason, then A can talk to others. Or more generally, do whatever it takes to workaround B.

A does talk to others. It still hasn't worked, and now B is trying really hard to make A stop telling everybody about this stuff.

So A has to get rid of B, or make them irrelevant.

How? B has all the power. It's easy to say "get rid of them" but how do you actually do it?

Maybe B has overwhelming power now. But if B's position is untenable, that will eventually become apparent. And yes, that may take far too long to be of any good.

Sure. That's why B is investing heavily in its military.

I thought that this subthread was about US politics. That's so knife-edge that it could flip in four years. But yes, if the US goes full-moron, and takes a military approach to climate mitigation, all bets are off :(
