It proves that you just need a coalition of the willing rather than trying to build a consensus of the recalcitrant.
At some point you need that coalition to be wiling to put up tariffs against non-members, though, otherwise it’s a coalition of voluntary economic/production disadvantage.
Or rather, that was the case 20 years ago. Now that renewables are less volatile and cheaper for states when you include the military-industrial expenses to secure access, it’s a coalition of acting sane. And that’s why it’s happening.
I often think that a lot of climate denial and inaction is a product of haves and have nots. The haves are panicking that they will become have nots. There will be a lot of push back from the billionaires about this. Even a tax on exporting fossil gas from Australia is too much at the moment or so it seems.
EU have ‘tariffs’ set to go. I’m sure this will be discussed.
