You could take a further step down the conspiracy path, and argue that Climate Change is how the developing East has created dependence on their materials and manufacturing.
The real solution to this is a CO2 tax at the point of goods import.
The problem is that you can't reverse 40 years of industrial change with an import tax.
But you are right, a global alliance to have consistent CO2 tax on import goods and CO2 tax in the country would fundamentally realign economic supply chains.
There are of course a whole host of practical issue with the idea but it is right in concept.
