No amount of US legislation will affect Climate Change.

We're truly fucked.

With China and India building new coal fired power plants on a weekly basis and having the "permission" to do so until 2030... until they extend it to 2040...

We're on track for 1000ppm CO2 by 2100 which means palm trees in the Arctic Circle.

To actually stop and reverse Climate Change, 50% of all human life would need to disappear and the rest would need to produce the same daily CO2 as one did in the 17th Century

And that might not work.
