The greatest threat to mankind
The American National Security Council has defined climate change as the greatest strategic threat facing mankind, even greater than global terror.
In spite of this, the elected American President, after the first 100 days of his presidency, continues to take strong action to deny the climate crisis and withdraw the USA’s commitment to the historic climate agreement signed in Paris in 2015 by 196 countries.
We call upon Trump to wake up
There is scientific consensus that the climate crisis is real and caused by man, there is no time for denial, no time for crony capitalism and no time for conspiracy theories (no, the Chinese didn’t invent the climate crisis).
This USA’s climate policy has global repercussions. If Trump continues pandering to the coal industry instead of to the citizens of the world, the earth will not be able to stand his presidency.
The climate crisis is already here
2016 was the hottest year since record keeping began, and the third year in a row to take first place. These changes are causing extreme weather such as: severe droughts like the one in Syria and the Middle East, snowstorms and extreme cold as in New York and Washington last winter, floods and melting glaciers.
In turn these extreme events lead to poverty, hunger and wars due to the accompanying catastrophes resulting from such weather and difficulties to continue farming and trade under such conditions. The civil war in Syria and the refugee issue worldwide are examples of serious crises exacerbated by climate change.
The solution
is true cooperation between all the countries in the world, a transition from polluting fossil fuels to renewable energy, responsible investing in cleantech, reducing food from animal sources, improving public transport and bicycle lanes instead of new roads and importing cars.
