Se fizessem uma lei decretando feriado toda vez em que a temperatura passa de 30 graus, ou em que há amplitude térmica acima de 10 graus em 24 horas, talvez o empresariado se engajasse um pouco mais para evitar o aquecimento global.
Alguém devia fazer uma lei proibindo temperaturas superiores a 30 graus e chuvas superiores a 25mm.
Mas não, o Congresso fica só preocupado em roubar com emenda e dar golpe.
