Don't worry thanks to GWB the US has become irrelevant on the world stage. Something is being done about all the illegal invasions. China, Russia and the EU (minus the GB poodle) are setting the agenda now. The US can go back to owning all the US flags in the world and annoying Canada.

Global warming has not been, and will never be catastrophic. Global cooling, on the other hand, will be catastrophic.

I agree, the next US President must lead.
He must tell the IPCC that US funding for this BS has been terminated.
