I don't think cleaning up is an option once you get a runaway atmospheric hot-house. Human population will fall due to global disasters and food-chain collapse, then wars, then the party is pretty much over.

Florida - that's where Trump is staffing many folks in his cabinet. They banned the words "climate change" and "global warming" from being mentioned in any official document.

Florida - also where there are $100B+ disasters every year.

America is now the Florida of the world!
