The Environment...

Every day, more bad news

What the HELL is it going to take for that asshole tRUMP to acknowledge global warming, and start doing something about it???

I am scared, depressed, and continually worried about the future of humanity not to mention the millions of plants and animals, entire ecosystems that took billions of years to evolve and that we do not totally understand yet... all in danger of going the way of the DODO BIRD- stuffed with styrofoam In museums.

That total asshole tRUMP does not care at all about anyone/anything other than the Donald, so it’s up to us, and time has run out.

I know many tRUMP supporters- friends over the years that I love and USED TO respect but no longer do. How can you not see the damage global warming has ruined our way of life? I just don’t get it!

tRUMP needs to be put in jail not for collusion and obstruction but for corruption on a MASSIVE environmental scale.

Last night’s democratic debate focused on the environment for a millisecond, and the problem is their 2050 date for elimination of petroleum emissions.

Quick math: thirty years from now is the goal? Thirty years ago might have been an “ok” goal fifty years ago. Today, however, we DO NOT HAVE thirty years.

I’m not a global warming scientist, but I have been paying attention to this issue for thirty years, and for the past few years, it’s bad news after bad news after bad news on a DAILY basis.

Stopping a long heavy freight train takes a really long time, and a big distance. Same thing for big oil tankers- you gotta think ahead so you don’t crash into the dock... how far ahead I don’t know.

Turning around our current global warming calamity (reversing the 200 year old global warming trend) isn’t going to happen overnight. It’s going to take another 200 years to set it right again, but the forests that could have helped us are gone, or almost gone.

Planet earth is just a huge “Easter Island,” and Humans are so stupid and greedy that there will never be enough global consensus and focus to fix our problems.

Pessimistic? Realistic.

Trump’s epa (“environmental pollution agency”) is as corrupt as trump is

Decades of scientific data. Decades of harm. Multitudes injured. Untold thousands of lives at stake. Toxic invisible residuals of Dursban in our fruits and vegetables, for all of us to get sick on.

None of that matters to tRUMP and his totally corrupt “environmental pollution agency.”

The manufacturer, Dow Chemical, donated $1 million to Donald for his 2016 presidential campaign, and Donald wants more of the same, children’s health be damned!!!!

As if all of the toxic trumpian eliminations of previous prudent decisions by the EPAs of the past weren’t enough, this one truly shows tRUMP’s amoral positioning.

​TOTAL ASSHOLE

Nobody has done more harm to the climate, the environment, and humanity’s future than that idiot amoral person in the White House.

There are ways to get around his attack on the future of humanity, and VERY SURPRISINGLY, one of the solutions is being offered by the very companies who traditionally refuse to be anything other than a major source of environmental degradation.

I am offering a guarded “HURRAY” for them and for California... leading the way to care for our future. Doing for us what corrupt tRUMP should be doing.

Hey tRUMP, you are an environmental nightmare, the whole world wishes you weren’t president.

Im writing this to you knowing that you will never read it- you do not even read daily security briefings, why would you read this stupid blog of mine?

This news report, published today, says stuff we all have been reading for thirty or forty years... our earth is baking in Exxonmobil fumes, and we GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

But America, the earth’s biggest polluter, is doing ABSO-lute-ly nothing about global warming because your sorry ass slimed your way into the White House.

You need to go go back to where you came from (HELL), and take all your supporters with you so the rest of us can take care of the planet.

If what you want is global warming, YOU GOT IT. As for me, I’d rather leave the planet the way it was given to me.

​You are the enemy of the planet.

The above is the only conclusion I could make today, the third day of a brutal climate warming heat wave. The nursery has been closed for three days and the perennials are inside the warehouse to save them from the extreme heat.

Trump policies bring more and more and more of these events to us, and he is doing not one damn thing to fix it. To the contrary, EVERYTHING he is doing is making things worse, so if heat is what trump wants, he can go downstairs where he belongs and get lots of it.

Trump’s NEW EPA RULES IN FAVOR OF POLLUTING COMPANIES

7/19/2019

As if all that tRUMP has done so far to eviscerate the prime directive of the EPA’s mandated function, this one is kinda the icing on the cake.

The old law allowed surprise visits by inspectors to see if world-wide polluters were polluting air and water and soil that belongs to all of us.

tRUMP and wheeler (morally corrupt epa chief), have decided that it’s best if states notify polluting companies BEFORE surprise inspections.

YEP, that’s right folks.

“Hey everyone, they’re inspecting us in two weeks! Cover up those rusty barrels leaking ddt, turn off those seven smokestacks, everyone go home!”

Just one more reason to vote tRUMP and his a*****e cronies home in 2020.

NRA: guns don’t kill, people do. Pepsi/coke: our bottles don’t pollute, people do.

I have never seen ocean pollution like this, but it is only a matter of time, seeing that pollution knows no borders. 

Who is to blame for this? 

Me. You. Everyone, but most of all it is our local, state, and federal government. 

In the good ol' days, we consumed products contained within the most horrible packaging in the history of mankind's many sins, and chucked the unwanted garbage into the garbage where it was buried under mounds of soil for unlucky future generations to contend with and clean up properly. 

Somewhere along the way someone got the idea that it was ok to put all the garbage on barges and dump it off shore. I saw it first hand in NYC. HUGE garbage barges. I stared in awe at the audacity of New York- "Is that OK, I thought to myself?"

Someone musta heard my question, and I'm thinking that they do not do that anymore, but not sure. Who the HELL came up with that idea? I guess it was common practice seeing that the biggest ocean polluter in the history of mankind was/is the American Navy itself. "Dump it overboard!" was/is their mantra.

Then came shipping garbage oversees to countries where they pay five year old kids to dismantle electronics with small fires to extract the valuable minerals. Our old batteries dumped in third world asian countries so we do not have to be inconvenienced by our own waste. 

At some point, shipping our waste oversees has stopped to some degree, and now we are stuck. Where does all this garbage go? You guessed it- we are back to burning it, burying it, and recycling just an infinitely minuscule percentage of it.  

Americans are above getting their hands dirty. We sneer at the concept of recycling (among the lowest recyclers in the world), yet we produce many times the waste per person than any country in the world. 

It is time to apply larger deposits on packaging. It is time to penalize all of us who do not recycle.

But ABOVE ALL, we need to pay for infrastructure that can handle the ridiculous amounts of waste that each of us generates on a daily basis. 

If you look at this disgusting picture and think to yourself "It wasn't ME who threw that garbage into the ocean, Must have been someone else!"

You are wrong, it was YOU. It was ME. It's all of us.

GREAT!!!

This news comes within a WEEK of tRUMP’S EPA approving an insecticide proven by scientists to be deadly to bee pollinators. Why on earth does tRUMP do these stupid things? He does it because of his utter hatred for governmental regulations of any sort no matter what the environmental result. He does it to repay political favors, and to encourage donations to his re-election fund.

We all suffer at the hands of this ignorant greedy president. tRUMP- enemy of the environment.
