All pointless until China does something.  They never will

I'll see that and raise that with a "All pointless until Brazil stops burning up the Amazon. They never will"

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest rose more than 88% in June 2019 compared with the same month in 2018, and more than doubled in January 2020 compared with the same month in 2019. In August 2019, 30,901 individual forest fires were reported, three times the number a year earlier.
Once they Amazon goes we're all cactus. Thankfully, I'll be long gone by the time that happens.
