Slim Pickins Climate Change Strategy

Way back, a long time ago Stanley Kubrick made a movie called Dr. Strangelove.  In the movie, the character played by Slim Pickins jumps up on an A-bomb that is stuck in the bomb bay of his airplane and starts whacking it with his hat to break it loose.  He succeeds and rides it down to earth like he's on a bucking bronco.
I thought of this image the other day when I was looking at Trump's climate policy and the people who will be instrumental in dealing with climate change. Trump's approach of course is, What Climate Change?  Doesn't matter really.  Whether politicians publicly acknowledge climate change or not, global temperatures rise inexorably year after year because CO2 emissions go up every year.  So, like Slim Pickins, it looks like we're going to ride this sucker all the way to the ground.
