The United States National Climate Assessment is documenting dramatic changes in our “great” nation.
No, they aren’t talking about the race wars, neo-Nazis or the fact that we have a talking Dorito leading our country.
No, they’re seeing residents reporting flooding in coastal cities and cities near large rivers during minor storms and high tides.
This is a little bit of an eyebrow raiser considering the fact that these are things these towns are equipped for. Hotter and drier weather is causing wildfires to burn longer and because of this, fires are burning close to homes.
Erosion is causing whole communities to relocate (EROSION, PEOPLE). A secure commitment from ALL nations is detrimental to reducing the number of potential threats by Act of God to the American prosperity.
Guess who isn’t playing along nicely, though?
Trump.
It’s projected that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Think about how much of our Earth is covered in ocean.
Now think about the previous statement again.
Yup.
It’s obvious that at this point, it needs to be a team effort to address our world’s climate change. Out of the top 15 nations to produce an overwhelming amount of waste, the U.S.A. comes in at #2. China came in at #1, but at least they took the time out of their day to care about the future.
Even Syria took time out of their bomb-filled days to agree to make a change in the environment.
With heavy favor of joining the agreement from both the citizens of our “great” nation and the rest of the world, we need to ask ourselves, “What the hell is Trump’s problem?”
Well, in an attempt to cover the smell of his own bullshit, Donald made a Rose Garden Speech, stating that America would be folding on the deal, calling it bad for the economy. Yet, what could be worse for the economy than not having a country, or even a planet, to economize on?
Let’s throw some more knowledge on this bitch.
The Paris Agreement uses an “Enhanced Transparent Framework”. For those of us who were told to focus on the Pythagorean Theorem and never speak of politics, this means that all countries need to follow the same guidelines, such as (a) requiring that countries regularly report national emissions inventories at least every two years; (b) requiring that at least every two years countries report “information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving” its emissions reduction target; (c) subjecting these national reports to a “technical expert review” by a set of independent reviewers; and (d) conducting a public session where countries consider the progress countries are making towards their targets.
Still failing to see the part where our economy gets damaged?
Same.
Citizens around the world are demanding that their motherland follows these guidelines since they will press their own domestic needs like air pollution, job creation, poverty alleviation, and again, reducing climate change.
And while so many people are doing everything they can to fight climate change and saving the world for our future generations, Americans are stuck fighting against Donald Trump, a man in a position that was meant to be honorable and trustworthy.
Well, Donny, I guess we’ll just meet you on the battlefield.
Ya know... before it erodes away.
