In reality, the planet is less polluted than it was 50 years ago. The air and water are cleaner, and only by declaring CO2 a pollutant can claims be made of pollution run amok. In the US, anyway. Other parts of the world that is not the case, but the US and Europe are expected to bear the brunt of solving a nonexistent problem, where the goalposts keep being moved in arbitrary and capricious regulation that devastates economies, business, and eventually, will destroy countries.
In other words, all is going according to plan.
