While world leaders lecture the US about climate change, America is one of the only countries reducing CO2. My latest for @USATODAYhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2018/12/08/climate-change-trump-paris-accord-emissions/2206756002/ …
Political fantasies. Even tiny households fight over a thermostat. You can't get India & China to make credible commitments (not mere treaties) to this. France is already burning & wider oppression will lead to planetary civil war emitting vastly more CO2 than the current peace.

Without impossibly credible commitments from India & China, forcing major carbon taxes on the West reduces long-term CO2 emissions by negligible amounts, may actually end up increasing long-term CO2 emissions because of the economic & political pain & violence it will cause.

when the skies darken we’ll need the co2 to keep things from freezing over
