I said, "…build what is effectively a world government and coerce everyone to reduce their consumption."

That article says we need to build a global organization that can coerce everyone reduce their carbon emissions. I don't see how my statement was incorrect.

I guess you can see "join the club or pay massive import tariffs" as coercion, but it's less of a world government than existing free trade agreements with their dispute handling mechanisms are.
