Saving The Planet, Improving The Scenery

ABOUT TEN PERCENT of the American people are rock solid hard core unmovable climate change deniers, beyond hope and scientific literacy. another twenty five percent are skeptics, people who just plain don't know, but are doubtful. they are very nearly as useless as the outright deniers. To these people the science is murky (it isn't to most people), and the causal connection dubious (they aren't, to the well educated). Nobody who accepts the reality of human made climate change is allowed to serve in the Trump administration, alarming ini its disregard for human survival. We are confronted in America of being the laughing stock outcast of the civilized world, which includes nearly everybody but us. Worse, the United Stats is potentially the cause of environmental and thus human destruction. Fortunately, the rest of the world is sane, and is proceeding with measure to fight climate change, which are being joined by states, communities, corporations, and individuals in America who are interested in preserving the environment. Noam Chomsky accurately describes the republican party as the most dangerous organization in human history. this is because of its position on climate change, which is well known, and the potential consequences of it, also well known. Chomsky carelessly omits mention of the American conservative movement, unless he has recently expanded his remarks concerning danger to the world. If our republican colleagues will not permit us to elect an administration amenable to human survival, nor allow us to replace fossil fuels with sustainable energy sources, will they at least condescend to allow us to plant trees, say, one trillion, the minimum number needed? We would be willing to promise to leave the government entirely out of the tree planting initiative, to impose no taxes on the very wealthy to pay for the program, to make tree planting on private property entirely optional, and to use funds for the project taken from other social welfare programs, with the labor being done by volunteers, of workers paid minimum wage, from money diverted from the food stamp program. Whatever it takes to persuade our right wing fellow from quenching this desperate plan to save the planet, like they seemed determined to do with all other plans. Maybe some of the new trees would be planted in lawns in front of buildings known to house right wing individuals and organizations, improving the scenery.
