Our leaders are making the climate disaster worse

As the flood in Texas kills dozens of dozens, climate warnings are still ignored, while the denial is turned into politics and profits for those responsible. Mark Beeson Reports.

We called for a lot of wake up about the situation of the environment, and it is not surprising that most of us are permanently concerned about. Unfortunately, the world -wide policy seems to be immune to the warnings of experts, and even endless and intense weather events that end our lives with increasing frequency.

. floods It is a particularly shocking example of the species in Texas. Dozens of victims in the increasing death fee were young girls who joined a Christian summer camp. Of course, this will be a harsh test of his parents’ belief in a loving God. I hope that more ordinary reality is generally re -evaluated, so that some goodness can be a terrible but completely predictable tragedy.

Climate scientists have warned about the possible consequences of global warming for decades, at least not ‘heavy rainfall‘. As ocean temperature and more moisture evaporate into the atmosphere, it produces more intense rainfall.

America’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) point outside:

‘Nine of the first 10 years for an extreme -day rainfall has been realized since 1995.’

I’m not an climatologist, but I think it can be a slightly developing model here. We can hope that the policy makers in the United States will be owed to EPA because it points to this. On the contrary, epa, arrogant By Trump administration, it plans to cut more than 1500 scientists and to reduce the agency’s budget by 65 percent.

This, of course, is part of a wider deduction agenda aiming at the ideological agenda of the Trump administration, which aims to be extraordinary or thought to be. EPA’s main mistakes prevent a renewed enthusiasm for fossil fuel exploitation and draw attention to the impact of climate change on the natural environment and the dangers that it may create for American citizens.

If the actions speak loudly than words, the simultaneous plan “gradually“Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) is a definite expression of both presidents Donald TrumpLack of empathy and understanding. Not only rejects EPA’s warnings, but also deliberately reduces the government’s ability to effectively respond to environmental disasters in times of crisis.

. Trump AdministrationIn a more predictable way, the inability to warn people on danger claims that the President or the United States had nothing to do with the desire to evacuate the state capacity. However, the national ocean and atmosphere administration is not a coincidence (Noaaa), operating the national weather service (NWS) is also subject to budget deductions and experienced personnel loss. WE Homeland security Secretary, Kristi Noemin an insightful way “The weather is hard to predict“This may be a reason for employing people.

Obviously, no one in Trump administration is willing to participate in the points between a heated planet and the rapidly increasing climate -based disasters. And still, even with all its wealth and power, the United States cannot avoid the consequences of its major role in creating an unprecedented global crisis.

For those who know more climatic science about politics, the key question is that especially Americans can connect between public policy, special preferences and environmental disaster with increasing speed.

Unfortunately, expectations are not good. Education levels are the best indicator How Americans vote and Trump supporters are the victims of surprising inequality in educational opportunities that strengthen social division and opportunities. Trump supporters may not be misinformed or sensitive to demagogy, but the results can be very predictable.

President Trump is not clearly responsible for environmental dangers and social inequalities that disturb America. But even if something makes things worse, it is in a position to do something about it.

Paradoxically, the only hope for Trump to respond to open signals of environmental reality, the influence on America is so intense, to move or at least move. The rate of increase in Texas -style disasters means that it may be in power, especially if there is one third. term.

However, even if the pronunciation of crisis and responsibility becomes indisputable, Trump may not be able to move. As a result, someone who facilitates the ongoing massacre of thousands of children in Gaza, at least because he can open a profitable opportunities For property development.

However, before we begin to feel self -righteous about our country, we should remember that we continue to choose governments. exacerbate The inevitable, indisputable dangers, despite everything we know about climate crisis.

When the hurricane arrives, they won’t be Trump’s mistake.
