It it possible that your cherry picked examples of failed regulations are genuinely bad laws for reasons besides the intention? Even the US got NOX and SOX emissions under control, and pretty rapidly too, so it's hard to imagine that environmental regulation is politically impossible writ large.... Note that the NOX and SOX auction system is very simple and there isn't a carbon reduction scene proposed today that is free of all sorts of insane riders and generally bad exemptions, credits, and subsidies, the concept of government setting the price of carbon (which is unpalatable to Americans) aside.
