Yeah: and for the past 7 years, we've let a cheater and his administration cheat themselves into office, amongst other things - and did nothing but wail, "oh, what's the use!"
If all we ever do is wail, and then do nothing, NOTHING will ever change.
first observation - you've lost if you use the term "climate change" which was coined by the current admin. Rest of the world has been using global warming until the current admin decided to try to change the playing field.
Next... this might not be impeachable (unlike outing a CIA agent, or illegal wire tapping.) as you have to show laws being broken. Yes misleading the public is bad... but impeachment requires "other high Crimes and Misdemeanors", (or treason, or bribery) so a crime has to be proven first.
That being said... given how else this administration has tried to undermine scientific research it doesn't like and how it tend to then fail (national academia, and rest of world ignore the admin. Fed science gets bad rap, etc.) I'm not too worried on this front.
Actually, I'd go back to the term I learned as a child (and scientist): climate shift.
It's more accurate. It also allows for describing different types of climate shift - especially important as we are "over-due" for another climate shift sequence into the next ice age. (It's quite possible we humans and our rampant and irresponsible industrialization have flipped the Earth's systems into the series of changes that result in a proper ice age.)
