I thought about taking out the analogy because arguing by analogy is usually dumb, and I see many flaws with it.

My main points being, unilateral action is ineffective, and per-capita CO2 is not a fair criteria for negotiating national limits because it ignores the growing capita portion of the CO2 equation.

This is precisely what makes peaceful agreement among all nations an impossible task.

It seems more probable that technology will continue to mitigate the problem rather than some genius politician that brokers a deal, saving the day.
