Oh, except, of course, that this country now has a unique version of a madman for its president and his present war, like all wars, has been pouring fossil fuels (whose climate-warming harm he’s labelled a “scam” and “the greatest con job ever perpetuated”) into the atmosphere of a planet that, unlike in my youth, has started to broil in a big-time fashion.
