It seems to me that saying there is no solution is no more
constructive than saying there is no problem.
I would rather say that the physics and the economics of the problem
are much more easily surmountable than the politics of the problem, or
that we will have a hard time coming close to achieving an optimal
policy in the foreseeable future. That is anything but a reason to
give up.
If you presume that we are doomed I'd suggest you would be better off,
and the rest of us no worse off, if you would put your attentions
elsewhere.
