This is actually a fantasy that has no basis in reality.

You claim that conservatives "(in general)" do believe in global warming but poll after poll after poll demonstrates otherwise[1]. 85% of Republicans don't think humans are to blame and (by extension) there's nothing we could possibly do about it. The Republican President claims quite emphatically that it's a "hoax." How do these observable facts jive at all with your claim that conservatives don't believe in the "solutions" when most don't even acknowledge the problem.

As for your fantastic claim that China won't cut emissions again, I suggest looking at reality. See the Climate Action Tracker for China [2]. China is on track to achieve its peak admissions by 2030 which is what they agreed to under the historic Paris Agreement.

The facts are out there. There's no need for you to make up fantastical claims you just have to have the courage to look at them.

That was a joke made on twitter.

He's made that claim numerous times over a span of years. Are you claiming those were all jokes?
Source for it being a joke?
