How about the historical precedent from Montreal Protocol?
https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30602
All the countries got together, decided to ban CFC, and the ozone hole over Antarctica and Scandinavia recover. It is an undeniable success of sensible regulation based on scientific evidence in reducing negative anthropogenic impact on complex system like climate change.

How about the Clean Air Act banning lead in the gasoline, despite opposition from many many faux ""scientists"" from the industry? The benefit are overwhelming and nowadays it would be child abuse to paint your children's room with leaded paint.

How about phasing out DDT from pesticides, because it reduces the thickness of American Eagle? After DDT is phased out, the American Eagle population throughout the country has rebounded and some in Alaska and Montana might've turned into pest territory.

Sensible regulation has been shown to work historically.
