Nuclear power scares them more than "global warming" so no they don't really think it's a big deal.

As a structural road block, baked into the 'American' system, there's a low probability that it can ever be rectified, and so, any grand gesture 'solution' to the Earth climate challenge would, by default, have to come from outside the 'beltway.'
That said, we people of the solar system have taken extreme comfort from any mistakes made in the people's interest, and activities that fell through the cracks by public servants, academia, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Laboratories, CIA, NRO, NSA, FBI, Military Intelligence, RAND Corporation, US Congress Special Committees, and the private sector, etc.; whom escaped the clutches of Washington lobbyists of a certain stripe.
While we reserve the option of activating Gort, we'll continue to monitor for the time being.
The communists don't have due process and are by far the worst polluters on the planet for CO2 and everything else. So don't blame the constitution for what should be nonexistent under other often hyped always failed/failing systems of government.

No linky because language, but two days ago RazörFist put up a video (Ytube and Bichoot) called America FIST that argues that the left-right divide is Euro-trash politics and the only Constitutional posture is Federal government vs State goverment.

German-like typing detected. They rejected Antifa and ''democratic socialism' in the 1930s.

That's essentially what I and many others have been stating, that the two parties are hardly distinguishable because they both revel in their second of victory as they lord newfound power concentrated in the executive branch over their opponent, only to have that power utilized and expanded against them tomorrow.

That is, the problem isn't who wields the insane amount of power, it's the fact they can in the first place.
