Ask a typical person concerned about global warming if they think Congress will enact a bipartisan solution to climate change, and the response is likely to be a derisive laugh.

Yes, and the smart ones always will respond with derisive laughter, because they know that there is nothing, repeat NOTHING that the United States congress, or any other governmental body on earth, can do to "solve" global warming.

They can pass stupid and expensive laws which are destructive to our economy and our society. However, such laws absolutely, positively, will not "solve" global warming.

Anyone who would entertain the idea that our government can legislate the climate of this planet is a moron.

It can be solved if everybody were to live in caves, eat twigs and berries, wear animal skins, walk everywhere, hunt with homemade bows and arrows.

Mankind did that for a while and, in the end, decided nice warm houses, factory-made clothes, farm-grown food and affordable horseless transportation was a better way to live.

On the contrary, True Believer Elon Musk (or one of 20 others) could put reflective grafitti in orbit over the poles. Depending on how much it reflects, the polar cap melting could be reversed and the polar ice increased. This is cheap.

More expensive, there could be a massive irrigation and greening of deserts such that they almost become tropical forests that soak up big CO2. Sea weed in the ocean could be greatly increased as a CO2 sink.

There are many real alternatives. Some cheap. Some expensive. That the true believers won't support any of them is proof that they don't want the problem solved. They want to use it as leverage to get things that have zero to do with climate change.
