What is your view on the alternative: "Not signing up on climate treaties an considering them optional"?

  That's what the US did. And in a pure local view it's the best (but selfish) choice for them. Climate change is a clear case of the prisoners dilemma. If you decide not to play along, use coal, you are better off from your perspective. But if everyone cooperates and agrees to limit climate impact in the long term everyone is better off.

    I guess being part of an attempt to break the stalemate would qualify as "dumb".

  There's another alternative: "Push climate treaties that set goals based on current scientific and economic realities".
