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.
