Do you want a Constitutional Amendment? Because that's how you get a Constitutional Amendment.
There's no chance of that happening. There have been no amendments in over 30 years. And no amendments that weren't a joke in over 50 years. You won't get 3/4 of the states to agree to anything the least bit controversial.
(You won't even get "just" 2/3 of the House and Senate to agree to even propose the amendment.)
Yeah, no, we shouldn't have a constitutional amendment for that. We cannot and should not try to control the climate, we can merely control our contributions to global pollution. And contributing to global pollution isn't Constitution territory, but regulation territory.
