"supporters of trump's overconsumption"? Really?

That's not what was said or implied. Local efforts against pollution makes every sense in the world, locally. Efforts to become more efficient, of course. Move to more nuclear and renewables, yes.

But to deny the fact that the US alone, or our trump overconsumption has power in our control with respect to global climate change or the melting of the polar caps is intentionally defying proven science and simple math.

Throwing buckets of water off the titanic, I'm sure, made people feel good, and born scorn on those who didn't help. I'm also sure you can calculate the extremely small impact that did to slow the sinking so yes, they "did something" - but it still sank.
