Steel Tariffs and Climate Change
What happens to the climate when you impose tariffs that make a major change in the flow of the 36 million tons of steel that the U.S. imports each year? As discussed here, and as one might expect, it depends on the source of the steel.
It’s kind of like the environmental impact of electric vehicles: the effect ranges from incredibly positive to fairly negative; it depends on precisely what happens when you plug in your car in a certain location, at a certain time of day, and the amount of renewables on the grid at the time.

Unfortunately, human interactions with different ecosystems throughout the planet has had a negative impact on health in the world and quality of life. 
Rwanda is an example of how a group of people can move from a horrible tragedy, in this case, a genocide, into a community of hope, mutual respect, and a deep commitment to sustainability. In its capital city Kigali (shown here), single-use plastic bags have been banned since 2008, driving is limited, and walking and biking are encouraged (along with other forms of physical fitness). 
If you live in North America and wish to keep a constant temperature, you need to move north an average of 600 meters per year. Of course, no one does this, since the increase in temperatures that happen in the course of a year are totally inconsequential, and for humans and our domesticated animals, moving our homes is a big deal.
