An American in a Strange Land

After more than a decade away, a foreign correspondent comes back to take stock of his divided homeland.

The American public has been fragmented.

Sales will not unify it.
If we could get an existential war, that might help.
Any existential war will turn nuclear.
Existential war is not an option.
Climate change is an existential threat.
The threat is distant in time.  
The commitment to the threat is immediate.
Dealing with that commitment is blocked by short term problems.
Carbon use will increase as stopgap measures.

The U.S. should try to meet the levels of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
