Making America Greta, Again

FIRST COMES THE DROUGHT, every drought seemingly a once in a hundred year event, now become an annual event. Then, the firs start, and ravage the continent, killing a billion animals, turning fire and wind into man made tornadoes. When the firs begin to burn out, leaving a desolate wasteland in their wake, the torrential rains begin, and the flooding, eroding sol into the ocean, leaving farmland barren rock. So goes the current scenario of Austria, as it has gone in California, as it will go increasingly regularly in our climate changed world, in which violent, extreme patterns of weather become the norm. President Trump has given his approval to the global plan to plant one trillion new trees, and it is rumored that is a whispered voice he recently acknowledged the reality of man made climate change, although we might be imagining this. Both Austria and the United States are in the grip of right wing coal mongering governments; our best hope is that they will soon be replace by renewed sanity. A massive investment in solar energy, systems in which sea water in huge quantities is cleansed of salt and used to irrigate the parched land and nourish the trillion saplings, solar collectors on land, at sea, and in Earth orbit, give us an outside chance of ameliorating our nightmare before its too late. The monstrous moronic minions of "make America Great Again" are the nation's, and the world's greatest enemy, the greatest obstacle to our self preservation. Most if not nearly all of them still insists on exploiting fossil fuels for profit, doing nothing about climate change, and destroying life on Earth. Our hope is "Make America Greta Again". Greta Thunberg, the seventeen year old Swedish climate activist who has the audacity to blame the world's leaders for their smug indifference to our impending doom, is our best hope. She manifests the spirit of ecological wisdom which we Americans abandoned about the time Reagan came to power, when he ripped the solar energy system from the roof of the White House. Pensively we remember when President Nixon signed into law the Environmental Protection agency and the Clean Water Act, in the days when even Republicans cared about our planetary health. Make America Greta, again. The monstrous MAGA great hordes must be superseded by a global army of MAGA-Greta activists, including all of us, including, eventually, the monstrous moronic Trumpers themselves.
