How about applying political pressure to countries like China and India that do not care about emissions control and pollution? :)

Non-fossil fuels make up 50% of India's installed power capacity. This year's peak power demand was 270GW, out of which 34% was supplied by renewables. The percentage of renewables in India's energy mix is going up every year, and there is no aversion to nuclear. Still, thermal power plants using coal remain a significant source of energy, and new coal plants are being planned and built. So India does care about emissions, but it also cares about energy security.
The anti global warming initiatives were killed by Unites States. Who is the major polluter.
Or america with it's insane per capita emissions.

China is at least adding more solar per year than America has in total.
