Yes, it would be wiser. Would it be likely? You can't get most nations to agree that the sky is blue or that water is wet. But who knows, maybe after the NEXT War To End All Wars.

That would be interesting to find out! Wouldn't it be even more interesting if any of them turned out to be publicly suggesting there is no need to fear global warming?
LOL! I can assure you, I'm not one of them!

PS - I know Cassandra was mythological, but the point is, her warnings were right but were disbelieved.
And, like most prophets, her warnings and pronouncements were cryptic. If memory serves (too lazy to look it up) she was asked by the Persian king about the outcome of an upcoming battle. She dutifully informed him that the battle would result in the fall of a kingdom. He naturally assumed it was the enemy kingdom which would fall. Silly king!
