U.S. climate envoy John Kerry on Tuesday said he believed the private sector was more likely to find solutions to climate change than government.

“The solution is going to come from the private sector, and what government needs to do is create the framework within which the private sector can do what it does best, which is allocate capital and innovate and begin to take the framework that’s been created. ... We need to go after this as if we’re really at war.”

        Even that seems like utopian fantasy. There's literally no way they'll fix it. Stabilise it in a few key places to create life rafts for the ultra rich maybe.
