I don't think you have to give up if you realize humans suck. You just need some imagination. Which is what we are saying, things like geo-engineering. Now, that's far from the perfect solution, but it is one humans are actually capable of. So instead of beating your head against a wall hoping that at some point humans will see something awful enough they'll do something(they won't, look at, say, Gaza, or starvation in Africa), you turn your efforts to places differences can be made.
It's either that, or live the angry life of Suzuki imagining people will eventually do the right thing and trying to change people in ways they will never change.
I gotta ask though, how many years can you keep going thinking this is the way? Haven't all the failures since Kyoto convinced you that strategy fails? And I think it's worse than doing nothing, because you put all your hope and effort into one basket full of holes. How many more meetings do they need to have, and which one is going to change things? Three? Five? A Hundred? That's the thing, it's not working.
