Really? Are the other countries on target? I heard the EU was not.

I want it to work. I'm just not sure it is, or if humans are even capable of coordinating on the scale required to address this problem outside of some geoengineering solution.

We used to only live and cooperate with tightly knot tribal groups. Now we often call ourselves Americans, Europeans, Arabs, Jews, Sikhs etc. We are capable of cooperating on a global scale but a certain group of self interested folks need to get out of the way

Well if they are unwilling to do that it seems like we aren't really capable of it.

Just like we aren't capable of operating without corruption or war because a certain group of people won't "get out of the way"
