Day 134:
There goes the neighborhood:
There are three countries in the world not in the Paris climate accord, Syria, which has been in a war for the last 6 years, Nicaragua who refused to join because it was not a strict enough agreement, and the United States, the historically worst polluter in the world.
Donald Trump has just committed a crime against humanity. His idiotic removal of the US from the Paris climate accords (a deal many said was not nearly strong enough) will doom MILLIONS of people to death.
Global warming is real, its serious, its going to kill millions, and he just doesn’t care. The evidence is overwhelming, the scientists all agree, he doesn’t care. The business community doesn’t want him to do it, the international community doesn’t want him to do it, the American people don’t want him to do it. HE DOESN’T CARE!
The oil companies and coal companies and fracking companies, they want him to do it, the republican senators who are beholden to the big carbon money want him to do it, so it gets done.
It will kill millions, destroy the future for our descendants, ruin the American economy, and potentially cause humanity to go extinct…Trump doesn’t care.
If you have ever been tempted to call your senator, or rep and demand they take action on something, make it this. You’re state can agree to the accord even if the federal government wont.
If the state wont listen call your mayor, get your city to take action, if we lose this fight, if we can’t keep the climate stable, then nothing else matters. We will never fix pay equity, free college, racism, sexism, end the wars, if we don’t have a stable climate.
Fuck Trump, and Fuck the short sighted money grabbers who support him.
