      What the heck do all these barren desert states plan on doing to mitigate their own exposure to climate change? Like is their approach to preserving themself now (like air conditioners up the wazoo?) sustainable, how is it going to play out for them specifically?

    The answer should be pretty simple: make a parallel more stringent deal inviting signatories to some open market for goods to European and American markets, Put in some control measures so that everyone stands by their word and state preconditions to join for countries who owe fossil fuel extraction and steel or cement production over 30% of their gross national income.
