Have you ever heard the joke?
Two planets meet. The primary one asks, “How are you?”
“Not so properly,” the second answered. “I’ve acquired the Homo sapiens.”
“Don’t fear,” the opposite replied. “I had the identical. That gained’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’ operating theme of governing is identical 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 trade for political contributions by the fossil-fuel lobbyists. The GOP has run amok. Just like the tobacco foyer of the Nineteen Fifties by way of the Nineties, they’ve finished nice injury 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 battle for the one planet that sustains life as we all know it. Elections matter! In any other case, steaks, medium-rare, on the roof.
