I’m curious. What actions could Congress take that would be meaniful? Or would it merely be feel good legislation? What could humans do that would stop or reverse the perceived global warming? It would be a shame that we could depopulate and deindustrialize back to the Stone Age only to discover that our impact on climate was insignificant. Climate is going to change on its own. It did before men roamed the Earth,

Glad you asked.
Climate Change (aka Global Warming) is all about getting legislation in place to mandate carbon credit trading (aka "Cap and Trade"). This is a scheme in which the traders in carbon credits (Al Gore established his Carbon Credit trading firm in London years ago) get very, very rich by buying and selling excess carbon credits. The government issues all businesses carbon credits, and if you need more, or have unused credits, you go to the exchange (for a fee).
A side benefit of course is more regulation and government control of the entire energy sector. This will cause even more power (and wealth) to shift to the governing class.
