This is our 2nd book of poems about 'climate change'. A considerable part of my introduction to the 1st book was devoted to Trump's shocking promises at the beginning of his presidency. Three years later, we see how the environmental crimes perpetrated by his administration (and supported by the Republican Party, which has long questioned climate science and protected polluting industries from regulation) have further destabilized the environment and sabotaged the efforts of those working to curb the climate crisis.US President Donald Trump, his friends and fellow Republicans, and the many other Trump-like characters who lead governments and industrial conglomerates around the world, think that global warming is not that great problem: the good regulations to protect the environment, are the real problem, because incrementing coal and petroleum extraction is their priority. History will remember them: to indulge their greed, they will have made the future of the planet -and that of hundreds of millions of people- even more in danger.Sadly, too many of us do not realize that, even if we cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically NOW, their effects will continue because it takes greenhouse gases decades to be removed from the atmosphere. This is what Science says. Yet, just follow social media to realize how widespread climate denial is!A positive note comes from the young: following in the footsteps of Greta Thunberg, millions of young climate activists have started a peaceful 'green revolution'. But.. will they have time to make it happen? One thing is certain: the outcome of November 2020 US elections will be crucial for the planet: the defeat of Trump and the Republican Party is the only hope left to stop climate change before it is too late.Our stupidity has already caused huge damage to Earth. The damage will become immense if we do not wake up quickly from the sleep of reason.
