The question which you fail to address is:
"Which of the six billion human beings on the planet gets the privilige of sitting at the planetary control panel and deciding what phenomena are "externality problems", and which of the buttons on the planetary control panel needs to be pressed to "solve" the externality problem?"
The government can't even put labels on endangered desert tortoises without screwing up the project and killing the poor hapless critters!
Humanity would be completely insane and DESERVE extinction if it were ever so foolish as to implement centralized bureaucratic control the human ecology and the environment.
INDIVIDUAL human beings are born with the instinct for survival, and will find a way to survive, and if necessary, adapt.
BUREACRACIES are born to effectively achieve ONE OBJECTIVE, and everything else is an OBSTACLE. The way bureaucracies deal with obstacles is to crush them.
