If we do not double down and protect the environment.. everything else is on the waste heap

of our bleached out bones... EVERYTHING!!!

If we do not have potable water, arable land and clean air.. we will cease to exist .. all our wishes hopes dreams for ourselves and humanity will go down the drain.

There will be nothing..

And those thinking they can find those few places that will survive a climate calamity.. Just imagine a world wide migrant movement to your island, farm, city.. that is still livable..

The preppers can find all the holes they want to hide in with all their guns.. there will be no escape

Only one party recognizes the environment. Without DEMs controlling congress, and the whitehouse, the environment will be trashed, and civilization along wtih it.

If voting rights are not protected, it just doesn't matter if the country at large wants DEMs elected.

The good thing about sky high gas prices is it forces people to be smarter in their driving habits and will accelerate renewable energy.
