Doesn't seem like there is any foreseeable future where climate change can be addressed. It's not just the leadership of the u.s, but the citizens themselves reject climate change as a real issue. Hopefully I'm just being pessemsitic.

No, I 100% blame politicians and the media. If this climate thing is such an issue as the "doomsayers" say it is, then we should be outright and immediately banning/dismantling and destroying infrastructure that causes it. But instead, we faff about with "carbon credits" and "media campaigns", and cause all sorts of divisive misinformation and "cover" for the worst offenders.

Try that a look who people vote.

People prefer the doctor who says smoking, drinking and no sports is ok over the ones who say you should stop smoldering and drinking and do more exercise.
