Far sighted Bacon knew it would take centuries for his vision to come
true. Should Trump singlehandedly reverse centuries of sociological
ratcheting it'd be enough to make Bacon "sing the blues" as they say.
Only the blues didn't exist back in Bacon's day - ergo "Flow My Tears."

This is disastrous. It means the mainstream regular American

 Any Global Warming is not caused by humans so your basic thesis is wrong.  Climates change all the time.  Just about all of it is due to that big fusion reactor in the sky that is so incredibly inefficient (1.8%) but works so well with it's 10+ billion years of fuel.

Lynn weather changes all the time and even more so with human
caused or abetted global warming. We put millions of years of fossil
carbon in several forms starting with coal, in Europe at the beginning
of the industrial revolution or calamity.  The smoke from the beginning
of industry was reflected by drought conditions to the Windward in
Africa.
Since then for the convenience of mankind and the captains
of Industry intent on pursuing money ignored warnings from the early
1900s by scientists that this would end badly. We have to have carbon
fuel presently, but should give up the smoking habits of limousines,
sports cars, motorcycles and ships for a sustainable future.  And
being as I must be an optimist I believe we can do all that but
it may not even slow down the global warming a bit.

Then of course we have the imbeciles in charge of the bits
of the great planet who simply must maintain nuclear deterrence so
maybe we will be extinct of ourselves before our fossil follies
do us in.
