Have you ever heard the joke?
Two planets meet. The primary one asks, “How are you?”
“Not so properly,” the second answered. “I’ve received the Homo sapiens.”
“Don’t fear,” the opposite replied. “I had the identical. That received’t final lengthy.”
After studying the Might 1 article “U.S. House votes to block California’s nation-leading vehicle emissions rules” (Nation & World), on the federal authorities’s assault on California’s strict EV and fossil fuel-emissions legal guidelines, I used to be reminded as soon as once more, SOS USA. Republicans’ working theme of governing is similar as Adolf Hitler’s, “Make Germany Nice Once more.” Not solely does President Donald Trump not have one unique concept, his concepts are by no means researched or weighed.
Throughout this political nightmare, we’d like extra Republican lawmakers like Sen. John Curtis of Utah and bipartisan organizations like Residents Local weather Foyer. Our planet can’t stand up to persevering with denialism in change for political contributions by the fossil-fuel lobbyists. The GOP has run amok. Just like the tobacco foyer of the Nineteen Fifties by means of the Nineteen Nineties, they’ve achieved nice harm to our well being and well-being. We’d like local weather champions to face up as public well being advocates did within the ’90s. We should struggle for the one planet that sustains life as we all know it. Elections matter! In any other case, steaks, medium-rare, on the roof.
