Donald Trump is right to doubt climate change. This is a threat as unreal as the possibility of a racist, misogynistic businessman with no interest in the environment and with multiple demands that include charges such as harassment and corruption, occupying the presidency of one of the most powerful countries in the world. We didn't see that coming, many said it wasn't possible, but it happened. Barack Obama has vacated the White House and his stance on caring for our planet walked out the door with him. President Trump has pledged to eliminate harmful and unnecessary policies like the Climate Action Plan … This is how the current America First Energy Plan published on the official website of the White House expresses it , where references to climate change and clean energy have disappeared at the same time as information related to equal pay and the LGBT community, as well as the Spanish version of the site. It is important to remember that the Climate Action Plan that, according to the site, is intended to be eliminated was a product of Barack Obama's administration. Its creation placed the United States at the forefront of the global fight against climate change after the Paris Agreement signed in 2015. The objective set for 2025 was to achieve a reduction of between 26% and 28% in the emission of greenhouse gases in relation to those produced in 2005. The new position of the White House contemplates the exploitation of oil and natural gas reserves in order to generate jobs for Americans. At the same time, the income from this activity – estimated at 50 billion dollars – could be used for the construction of new roads and the renewal of public infrastructure. Likewise, a formal commitment is contemplated to eliminate the Clean Energy Plan also developed during the Obama administration, considering it useless and harmful. That plan set actionable standards to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and prevent up to 3,600 premature deaths, 1,700 non-fatal heart attacks and 90,000 asthma attacks in children by 2030.
It would also allow American families to New Zealand WhatsApp Number save enough energy to power more of 30 million homes and would save consumers about $155 billion between 2020 and 2030. Thanks to these efforts, Barack Obama's administration managed to increase solar energy generation twenty-fold and triple wind energy production. In contrast, the new position of the White House announces a strong commitment to the revolution in the hydraulic, gas and oil bill. The formality of these promises is also evident with the appointment of Rex Tillerson, former CEO of the oil company ExxonMobil, as Secretary of State; and the possibility of having Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma Attorney General and climate change skeptic, head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What is truly worrying is the possibility that nations with high levels of pollution, such as China and India, could follow in the American footsteps and turn their backs on the commitments made in the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement. I even fear that other countries, seeing that the United States is not committed, may feel less obliged to develop clean energy and continue to pollute. – Manuel González, Foreign Minister of Costa Rica. All of this, added to the reactivation of the US coal industry, which according to the president has been suffering for too long as a result of unnecessary regulations, raises alarm bells around the White House's new stance on the environment. This is a plan that has deliberately decided to ignore all scientific evidence that supports the existence of climate change and deny the important role of human action in its development. It is evidently an arrogant act that puts at risk not only the future of the United States, but that of the entire world. The White House is committed to achieving energy independence from fossil fuels while protecting clean air and water.
All despite the evidence from decades of scientific research indicating that the old way of energy production is harming the planet. This position is worrying, not only because of the decisions that the United States may take derived from it, but because of the possibility that other nations continue down the same path.They were excluded from the Girl Scouts, but they created a very responsible groupWhen it comes to relating a group of scouts to their activities, selling cookies, cleaning a park or working hard to plant trees to earn a badge are the first tasks to be mentioned but there is a team that has broken with this traditional image. During a march in Oakland for women's rights, a dozen girls between 8 and 12 years old came out to defend all women in the world and diversity with banners and batons. It is a troop of girls called Radical Monarchs , which seeks inclusion and celebrates the diversity of the world, through social movements and different educational activities. Anayvette Martínez decided to create Radical Monarchs when her daughter told her that she wanted to join Girls Scout and that because of her skin color she might be excluded. So in 2014 Martínez decided to create a team that was not only diverse, but also encouraged the leadership of its members and encouraged them to participate in conversations and activities that benefit society or the environment. Our troops are for girls who want to create a better world, more inclusive and respectful of people and the environment. Radicals Monarch aims to encourage girls to fight for their rights and dreams, Martínez said. During their sessions, Martínez, in collaboration with Marilyn Hollinquest and other members of the team , teach them about sexual education, social justice, inclusion, racial pride, among other topics that encourage healthy development and complement their education. The founders of this team create a bond of trust with each of its members so that they can speak openly and clarify their doubts.
