Say you knew that Big Green Fiscal Solution AND Global carbon price AND BlackRocks cunning plan to turn IMF into global backstop ARE ALL POLITICALLY DEAD? What would your climate policy look like?

Thanks for promoting @NicoKrisch but actually that is NOT point of article. This is Pavlovian sub-titling on @guardian part. BlackRock model of socializing risks etc is NOT going to fly on large scale. Risk is total impasse -> Kerry team working on sector-by-sector fixes . twitter.com/NicoKrisch/sta…
