Of course not. By the time we see enough effect from carbon, it will be too late to reduce the emissions. Before that time, no one will invest in the commons as they don't derive any individual benefit. Humans are imperfect sensors and even more imperfect judges of issues at this large scale. We see it even at such small sizes as our economy, much less the global ecosystem. We operate on such small scales of time and space that we first need an extension of our collective ability to perceive before we will solve this problem that is so much larger than us. Perhaps there is room for technology there.
