As a result, international climate policy would become unrecognizable, ineffective, and, ultimately, irrelevant. Countries would begin to focus almost entirely on enhancing their own ability to adapt to climate change, with ambitious emissions-reduction agreements giving way to exclusively national initiatives in areas ranging from regulatory policy to geo-engineering.
结果，国际气候政策将变得无法获得承认、无法形成效果，最终沦为无关紧要的问题。各国将开始几乎完全专注于自身适应气候变化的能力，雄心勃勃的减排协定将让位于从监管政策到地质工程诸领域的排他性国家政策。
