But it only works if we've made efforts to fix our own carbon emitting economies. Before anyone makes the currently popular "why aren't you telling China and India to stop emitting" argument

Climate denialism in developed countries has many forms. Some of them include:

1. It's not happening

2. It's happening but it's natural

3. It's happening and it's because of human activity but it'll cost too much to fix it.

4. We could fix it but we'd be outcompeted by everyone else who doesn't. So let's not.

Tariffs and sanctions are to address #4. Rich countries absolutely must fix their economies, no question about it.
