        Maybe if you start heating your homes by burning car tires in your gardens. But otherwise, no. You are already so far behind the curve that economics really don’t allow CO2 emission increases on a global significant level.

              Why would a corporate entity move PP&E to a different country in light of the promise of increasingly favorable tax rates and the threat of tariffs? There’s a reason why US and Ireland are havens. Those things are bolted down
