That happened after Trump tore up the treaty, right?
Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.

Here’s a link to some books on the subject. You’re right, most people figure it would be putting our heavy industries in space and bring down what ever products are needed.
With climate change and coastal flooding, it’s coming, just not in the form you’re thinking of.
