This is not an attempt to “trash” president-elect Donald Trump who said very little about climate change during his campaign effort. Nonetheless, it is an effort to relay simple facts!
Okay, so last week (Saturday—Oct. 29th 2016) Candidate Trump did finally say something real about climate change: He promised to cut all federal spending on the issue in order to save 100 Billion Dollars over an 8 year period; he pledged further by saying: I will “cancel all wasteful climate change spending.”
He reinforced that pledge at a Michigan rally a few days ago (Nov. 7th 2016): “We’re going to put America first . . . and instead use that money to provide for American infrastructure including clean water, clean air, and safety.”
In-any-event, climate change over the next 20 years or less is predicted to result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in natural disasters and yes, more wars driven by the devastation.
According to the world’s oldest newspaper, The Observer (first published in 1791), a 2004 Pentagon Report warned then President Bush that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Great Britain is plunged into a “Siberian” type climate by 2020.
Average losses caused by more recent hurricane winds, land subsidence, and rising sea levels are estimated to be in the neighborhood of 14 Billion Dollars per year and yes these costs are expected to continue to rise in the future.
Consequently, according to the above referenced Pentagon Report, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world, and get this: Nuclear war!
The document reportedly predicts that rapid climate change is likely to bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as more countries develop nuclear arsenals initially intended to “defend” and secure dwindling food, water, and energy supplies. Experts in the know to the contents of the report are now convinced this threat to global stability eclipses that of terrorism.
Exerts from the Pentagon report: “Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,” “Once again, warfare would define human life.”
The findings are expected to prove humiliating for those politicians who continue to deny that climate change is anything other than a hoax formulated by the Chinese or has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists. Several military and political “experts” have recently concluded that it’s unsettling that so many Americans still insisted that national defense remains priority one for America’s future well-being.
Then again, there may yet be hope . . . In September (2016) Candidate Trump said that there’s “still much that needs to be investigated in the field of “climate change”. He added: “perhaps we should be focused on developing energy sources and power production that alleviates the need for dependence on fossil fuels.”
Let’s hope that in the absent of the pressures from multitudes of angry voters, a President Trump will “man-up” and accept reality!
