We get our strongest guy and they get their strongest guy and we end it with single combat. Winner takes all, no do-overs, no mulligans, one alternate for each side, and the weapons and location will be decided by a board of neutral parties in coordination with each side's coach, contender, and any other relevant staff.

We need a binding international treaty implementing carbon taxes.
They're unpopular so we need to take this decision out of the hands of politicians who might be tempted to defect the next time they're up for reelection, they should only be responsible for the implementation of the policy that was already agreed to and can't easily be wriggled out of.
Oh yeah? And how are other countries going to enforce it if one country breaks the treaty? With bombs? Bombs that release CO2? Think it through! /s
I guess the same way all of the other ones get enforced, imperfectly
Guns, we fly a space ship to Mercury make a landing party and start shooting everything we have at the Sun. Tell it to cut the crap or we'll tarrif all of its light.
Other than inventing time travel, I don't think there's a realistic method at this point. (and then I'm not so sure that time travel is that realistic either)
Well if we start down the Billionaire list, we can drop half of all emissions after just a few thousand names.
But the actual solution is moon base manufacturing solar reflectors and having orbital platforms beam microwave energy down to the planet.
Billionaires pollute like crazy with their jets. For each one of their jets that goes down, you save the environment and you have one less billionaire that shouldn't exist in the first place.
