Obama's Clean Power Plan is dead. Time to get serious on climate change.

In 10,000 years, if there are still human beings around, it's pretty likely that most things about President Trump will have been long forgotten. The fading, gold-plated letters will all have fallen from Trump's Manhattan skyscrapers. His gaudy, bankrupt hotels will have crumbled to dust. With any luck, even the history books will barely mention his name. But there is one big exception: Even 10,000 years from now, Trump's effects on the climate of our planet will still be felt.
