Im No Expert On American Politics.

Think On A 50-year Scale, Which Is A Much More Natural Time-scale For Global Warming. The Us Is Right Now Spending About 200 Million Dollars Annually On Research Into Renewable Energy.

The Only Thing That Will Really Change Global Warming In The Long Run Is If We Radically Increase The Speed With Which We Get Alternative Technologies To Deal With Climate Change.
