President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are continuing their efforts to curb domestic and international climate change action by either trying to water down eco-friendly proposals or reject them altogether.
According to the Post, the Trump administration specifically tried to get rid of the phrase “climate change” entirely and any references to the 2016 Paris international climate agreement, a treaty that President Trump quickly abandoned after entering office. “Our American colleagues strongly oppose even mentioning the Paris climate agreement in the strategy, as well as the United Nations' 2030 sustainable development goals,” Lavrov said. “All others are confident that the strategy will be watered down if we fail to do that. So serious work lies ahead.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told his colleagues that the legislation was a “futile gesture to handcuff the U.S. economy through the ill-fated Paris deal” and that it would “go nowhere here in the Senate.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday morning that it’s “time to end denial about climate change and start listening to the facts. This is about science, science, science.”

Only, concrete &coordinate actions among individuals, communities, cities and🌎countries can have an impact in curb the temperatures link, to climate change. Demonstrations and hollow words of politicians and individuals are meaningless.
In other words, reasonable people understand that the climate changes and has done so since the Earth was created. Greenies! The sky is not falling and the planet will not self-destruct in 12 years!
Science represents God. Not church.
