Good News From The New York Times

The ultimate goal of climate legislation — be it the bill that the House passed last year or the bill that died in the Senate last week — is to align the incentives better, so human ingenuity can be harnessed to fight global warming. The bills would increase the cost of emitting carbon, thereby giving companies reason to emit less. Absent that, the best bet seems to be that emissions will keep rising and the planet will keep getting hotter.

That cheers us up, & gives us reason to continue existing, in the hope we'll still have the strength to drown some of them in the rising waters. Fuck you, short-sighted ignoramuses!
