Then by your logic, is global regulation superior to Federal regulation?

It's not a logical inference. It's an observation.

ISO standards are pretty good I would say.

But much less fun than going into the basement of the hall of records to see how long a foot is in this county.

Your comparison doesn't make sense. Local, state, and federal levels are all part of one country. There is no equivalent institution at the global level.

For global challenges like climate change, regulation at the global level seems like the right responses.
