If by "cooperating with this stuff" you mean the pollution aspect of it, well...... of course you're perfectly entitled to as much pessimism as you like.

I on the other hand, see no excuse whatsoever why nations can't be encouraged/enticed/enforced/coerced into cooperating "with this stuff."

And if some require scoldings by 16-year olds to get their collective shit together.... then so be it.
