The West sure can't do anything about it.  Southeast Asia drives climate

 The coal trains rumble through here headed west. I believe they make a
dogleg up to BC since the good people of Washington state frown on
shipping coal from their ports. They're not building an atoll in the
middle of the Pacific with it.

   That'd be cool though  :-)
   I'm surprised western Canada is still using lots
   of coal. It's swimming in that 'tar' oil and there
   must be several good ways to make it burn clean.
   Less nasty than coal ...
   With Trump 2.0, a lot of those 'good people of
   Washington State' may become 'good people of
   Greater Idaho'.
