>> Most of that those giant emissions are your daily commute etc.

Daily commutes, even by IC car, are not the bulk of carbon emissions. Carbon emissions from all transport are only about 1/3 of total emissions, with commutes being a subset of that. The bulk of emissions, the other 2/3, are from non-transport things like electricity and food production. Installing some solar panels and not eating meat might be more effective than avoiding the daily commute.

Yes, and no matter how much less meat the billionaires eat, it's not going to move the needle.

A treaty that is sure not to move the needle won't get signed.
