Why do you say politics is always bad for the environment? Politics created the Clean Air and Water Acts, politics created the EPA. Politics has elected people concerned about the environment. And the only effect of politics on the IPCC has been to tone down their early pronouncements.
It is true the 1970 Clean air and water act was badly needed because there was no concerted effort to do the right thing at the time to our great benefit.
However, Government has also passed pure garbage such as the EPA declaring war on CO2 calling it a he he .... ha ha ha.....hoo hoo a
Pollutant, now that is pure stupidity since CO2 is a building block of life and part of the Photosynthesis process.
NASA tells us that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is making the planet healthier and more active biologically:

Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds
From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal
Nature Climate Change on April 25.
An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet’s vegetated regions. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.

Greening of the Earth Mitigates Surface Warming
A new study reports that increased vegetation growth during the recent decades, known as the “Greening Earth”, has a strong cooling effect on the land due to increased efficiency of heat and water vapor transfer to the atmosphere.
A new study published in the journal Science Advances titled
“Biophysical impacts of Earth greening largely controlled by aerodynamic resistance” reports that the entire land surface would have been much warmer without the cooling effect of increased green cover during the recent decades. The study used high-quality satellite data from NASA’s MODIS sensors and NCAR’s state-of-the-art numerical earth system model.
