And this is why our Communists…I mean, the Progressives, want us to pay for everyone else’s “global warming” while allowing China to pollute the Earth more than all other nations combined.

The last time I checked, America is responsible for only 19% of the world's carbon foot print.
This means if America went dark by killing every man, woman and child in the country.. the carbon footprint would only reduce (at most) by 19%.

Since this isn't likely to happen, the feel-good, touchy-feelie climate stuff is more akin to trying to empty the Atlantic with a tea spoon.
