No. It was a smaller and less complicated problem, so it was easier to get the world united in solving it.
What you think is a scam is the carbon transfer scheme.
It wasn't a scam, but it was far too grandiose to ever work. Global warming could be modified by humans, but can only be achieved by many different, smaller plans that work the best for single nations more than groups of nations.
Trying to get the entire planet to agree on only one correction program is impossible.
Once those smaller plans are developed, there may be some that other nations can use very well, but there will never be one simple big plan that will work. That was carbon transfer's greatest failure.
For sure, some of the small plans will fail too, so there must be many different ones.
It always takes more than one wild dog to bring down the buffalo. The human pack is a lot smarter than any pack of wild dogs. One member makes many mistakes, but the pack makes far fewer.
Nothing can begin until everyone agrees the problem exists. Almost all of the scientific evidence says it does, but science has little to say about the ways to slow global warming until everyone agrees it is happening to them just as much as some other place on the planet.
It's only then, when everyone is saying the climate has changed, that ways will be found to slow the rate of change.
Fighting global warming is much like fighting cancer.
A person might not feel sick, but if they deny they have cancer, the longer they wait to see if they are going to feel sick the worse the cancer will be when it's finally begun to be treated.
When a person who still feels healthy begins cancer treatment, the odds are greater the cancer will be slowed. There's never a guarantee that cancer will be stopped, nor a guarantee that it won't return once its stopped once.
So, like cancer, there's no guarantee we will be able to stop the global warming.
But if we can slow it, then maybe we will have time to find better ways, and slow it even more. In time. Nothing is going to happen quickly.
If nothing it attempted, then nothing has any assurance of working.
Trying to find a sure-fire, 100% certain way to stop global warming is like searching for a miracle cure for cancer.
Waste time and money, and walk around feeling OK with cancer growing inside, unchecked. Pray for a cure, and then wait around for God to answer the prayers.
By the time the miracle cure obviously wasn't miraculous, the person is 3 steps from the graveyard with nothing that can be done to save him.
Cancer only kills one person at a time. Global warming will kill dozens, then hundreds, then thousands, then millions of us all at once.
