There's no alternative to control. If you don't have a government, you have a local band of thugs running things, or you have a good thing for a little while (as in the Spanish Republic) until it gets crushed by fascists on one side and Stalinists on the other. You can have limited government, but it can't be so limited that cannot achieve the goal of stabilizing the climate. Your new model has to get the job done; if not, then half the planet becomes uninhabitable and billions have to move, resulting in wars like we've never seen.
Cooperative arrangements are great when they work, but too many human beings are assholes.
