> How about acidification of the oceans?

Reduce waste, stop ships from ocean dumping. Start with the West and then bully the rest to follow. The US/EU can control who can access their market.

"Sorry, you can only land here, if you can prove that you did not dump your waste."

> How about greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

I think economics will solve this one. To me waste and planned obsolescence seems like the much bigger problem. Green energy is just "more new stuff", we are good at that.

Edit: Another answer to your comment just made me realize, I had a different kind of acidification in mind and missed the point.
