Yeah, correct response to the crisis is "global wartime command economy, rationing, and zero carbon by 2025, followed by 50 years of using moat of our energy budget on CO2 scrubbing.
Fifteen years, so a pair of two term democrats in a row, who hold control of both houses during most of that time, something that hasn't been seen since the Instituted term limits on presidents. Very cool very good.
