One Earth, One Last Chance

Go Greta Go

September 24, 2019

I have been otherwise occupied over the past two weeks, and sadly was unable to vent properly in a timely manner about the subject nearest to my heart – the third stone from our Sun – our little blue marble of a planet that provides everything we could ever want.  In return, we humans have relentlessly and aggressively done everything in our power to destroy our home.

I have fought for the environment in my own way for many years.  I am currently indescribably grateful and in awe of a young Swedish woman, only 16 years of age, who has single-handedly brought the hammer down on the world’s climate morons while subsequently inspiring many others to raise their voices in defense of Mother Earth.

Thanks in large part to the dogged activism of Greta Thunberg millions of school-aged young people marched in cities across the globe on September20th to raise awareness of the global climate crisis that is already (and has been for quite some time) wreaking havoc across the planet.

Here are a few of my favorite signs from last Friday’s school-walk-out in protest of climate crisis inaction:

 



 

A few days later, Thunberg spoke at the UN climate meeting in New York.  She scolded the greedy, hapless corporatists and political so-called leaders the world over, who are stealing her generation’s future, while in the present these alleged adults are crushing these children’s very souls.

 

Later that same day, Greta happened to be in a public area as the Orange Gas Cloud oozed past her.  Below is a clip of the encounter:

Sixteen year-old Greta Thunberg knows toxic filth when she smells it

Yesterday, hundreds of activists took to the streets of Wishy-Washington, DC intent on disrupting business as usual in the “center of decision-making in the U.S.”  Hundreds of activists blocked key intersections across the heart of our nation’s capital.  They were attempting to awaken lawmakers to stop them from dragging their feet climate crisis.

On a lighter note...

Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld, who is currently mounting a quixotic primary challenge against the Orange Gas Cloud, said that what Chrump did vis-à-vis pressuring the president of Ukraine and Joe Biden “is treason. It's treason pure and simple…The penalty for treason under the US code is death.”  Apparently, Weld is technically incorrect, but his sentiment is understandable and well taken.
