Donald's Dump on the Earth

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.
