The real problem is with China and India who are increasing their output. Killing our economy without their cooperation in this situation does nothing but ruin our economy without doing much good. I don't hear anyone talking about getting their cooperation. My 2 cents worth.

I agree completely that we need cooperation from India and China, that is the goal of the Paris Agreement which was signed by all 3 countries, and dozens of others. But with Trump saying the US will withdraw, we have given away our authority and leverage here.
