Indeed. And two countries most emboldened by a Trump presidency? Russia and China. China, US, Russia are the 3 top contributors to global warming by a significant margin.

China has 60% more CO2 emissions than the United States, but Trump's promise to wage war on clean energy while investing heavily in coal and oil, there's a good chance US will be back to #1.
