He is aware that there's no way for everyone to suddenly stop developing the dangerous technology.
That's what he's complaining about: the local incentive is for everyone to defect, so everyone will defect.
Unfortunately, your strategy (the West defecting), fails to prevent everyone from dying. He's not proposing a solution; his expressing despair at the insolvability of the problem.
