The climate in our government is
so very different today especially in the save the world, climate change
department yet in the past year we have experienced many instances of extreme
weather from fires to floods just about everywhere in America. Now we are also experiencing
a big change in an effort to stop our carbon print in the world to a President
who is stopping any and every environmental control on businesses that it seems
that he is encouraging pollution and environmental potential disasters by
giving permission to do oil drilling off of
every state coast except Florida where he owns an ocean front private Golfing
Club. Hmnnnn.
We need to look back to just
three years ago when Obama was President. Our focus was very different in the what is the most important priority for
Americans. Even his wife, Michele was an advocate for fresh organic food. Melna
wants bullying to end meanwhile Trump is one of the biggest bullies ever. He
won the election by bullying other candidates. Back in 2015 President Obama
agreed with China to cut down on emissions despite the Republicans who called
the plan “unrealistic” and fought the environmental plan. In just three years, China
has gone from one of the most polluting countries in the world to emerging as a
leader in safe solar and wind technology. Americans who developed the solar
industry has no effective solar industry now. We buy our solar panels from
China. Trump could care less about clean energy.
The bilateral deal to reduce
carbon emissions between America and China then was significant since our two
countries are the world’s largest economies that are the world’s leading energy
consumers and emitters of greenhouse gasses. We have a special
responsibility to lead the global effort against climate change. In just one
year Trump has destroyed America’s effort to save the world and our self from
pollutants. He has de-regulated all the safety nets to insure that corporations
do not ruin our environment in their effort for corporate profits.
Under Obama’s deal that was
agreed on with China in 2015 they would cap its growing carbon emissions by
2030. The United States target was to cut its emissions by 26% to 28% of 2005
levels by the year 2025. It was an attainable goal however, when Trump met with the Chinese President
early last year soon after he became President, his only concern was about
being able to brand his and his daughters products to be available for sale in
China for his own personal profits. Little was discussed in continuing with
this all so important save the world from pollution effort.
Congress can’t ratify or reject
the deal with China. Republicans can and have successfully minimized its impact
by legislating away industry regulations. Trump believes that if he gives the
okay to more oil drilling and more unsafe manufacturing that jobs will come
back to the middle class. The problem with say the coal industry is that no one
want to burn coal in favor of natural gas and clean energy. Trump could have
promoted jobs in the clean air industries of wind, solar and clean natural gas
the need people in those jobs. The disaster in Puerto Rico could have been a
blessing because everything was ruined there due to extreme weather conditions.
Trump could have promoted windmills from the sea breezes, solar panels from the
intense sun, tourism and make the island a poster child of American skills and
ingenuity. Instead he is very self -absorbed in his own self-promotion and is
risking all the environmental saving gains we have already achieved at home and
abroad.
