Climate Change: How To Find A Safe Haven includes a brief history of how corporations in 1999 persuaded the United Nations to support the building of regional trading regions and trade agreements between nations, creating a global system of governance based on those trade agreements, appointed institutions, and international regulations.
That's why no one in elected office will do anything about climate change. Corporations are officially meeting with elected government officials from various nations and "advising" them on how to build and run these regions. So the decision was to pursue "growing the economy" and attack climate change when they have the time and money.
