Ah, climate change (which is what we're supposed to call it now, not global warming).  What a lovely platform upon which to build a global edifice, where finally, finally, a global consortium can exercise influence (and collect money) that transcends national boundaries.  Well, that's the plan anyway.  Too bad there are so many recalcitrant participants.  Wild card American presidents.  Secretive totalitarian governments.  Angry developing nations.   It's like watching the Game of Thrones.
