Why don't you do it for a living? Just curious? And I'm also assuming you know that there is no correlation between global temperature and atmospheric CO2? And also that CO2 was much higher millions of years ago? Bottom line is we need moderate, responsible climate policies from our leadership. Not extremist
Most of us don't wind up in our degree fields. And without a PhD or masters, geologists can make better livings elsewhere. I did not want to work in the oil fields. And I would disagree with that statement about CO2. Glad to hear you acknowledge our science about CO2 millions of years ago though.
I would agree that moderate leadership is needed here, but we have extremism. Moreover though, our leaders need to stop ignoring the science. People trust science in every other part of life, but when it comes to climate science, the head turns the other way. Not rational.
It's about more than this country, but is certainly will affect us.
If only in one way, sea level rise will soon begin to destroy coastlines if sea level keeps rising. I did a GIS exercise where I explored the effects of sea level rise on the southeastern US.

And this is only one consequence - loss of some of the most desirable real estate on the planet.
