I am stunned that few seem to care about Donald Trump’s next assault on our planet.
Significant changes are being made to the National Environmental Policy Act, changes that would allow federal agencies to approve certain infrastructure projects without considering climate change consequences.
This will stop federal environmental reviews of projects that lack government funding. This will endanger wildlife and lead to more carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Of course Trump’s person in charge was a former lobbyist for big oil.
Greed for short-term financial gains to big polluters and our corrupt president are prioritized. Even national parks and monuments, our worldwide envied treasures are being assaulted.
Our public health and environment are at grave risk from the growing climate crisis and from our own president. Trump has cut regulations put in place by prior administrations to protect our environment and will continue doing this.
He is corrupt to the core. While he and his cronies are stuffing their pockets, our planet is dying.
His staunch followers will reelect him for our “booming economy” that cannot last. Our huge, growing debt will bring us to bankruptcy, something Trump is familiar with. As before, he will just walk away from the rubble.
