Making a false but foolish looking caricature and then claiming it represents your opponents argument is called "straw man" - and its a typical form of false logic rhetoric.
do you have enough self-awareness and knowledge to actually state the argument that you are straw-manning?
and, nothing can cure global warming. nor will we actually do anything effective to stop it.
it's the american descendents that will be dealing with most of the problems, if they happen. thats why it's inevitable that your side will win politically in the short term.
even tho it means falling behind technologically for the US - the US is fucked anyway, our prosperity is already sold off, we pretty much gave up on the ideal of technological supremacy.
