So, let's talk about the environment for a sec (or two). When Trump dismi es climate science, it’s not just a political move, it’s like throwing a wrench in the gears of progre . We’re seeing the effects of climate change right now, and it’s not just some distant problem. It’s wildfires, hurricanes, and rising sea levels affecting communities acro the country. And don’t even get me started on the funding cuts to environmental programs. Those programs are crucial for research and innovation that could help us tackle these i ues head-on. We need someone who understands the importance of science and supports it, not someone who turns a blind eye. It’s time for a change, folks! 🌱

What gets me is the fact that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that 2020 was one of the hottest years on record, and it’s not just a coincidence! We are facing unprecedented heatwaves and extreme weather, and this is directly linked to the climate policies—or lack thereof—under Trump’s administration. We cannot afford to ignore the science any longer; our planet is crying out for help!

The thing about climate change is that it’s not just an environmental issue, it’s also a massive economic one. According to a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, climate-related disasters cost the U.S. over $300 billion in damages just in 2020 alone. Ignoring it means risking not only our planet but also our economy... and that’s something everyone should care about! 🌍💰.

Yeah, totally true, but it's also about the long-term health of our democracy and society. Climate change is a big deal, but we also need leaders who prioritize science and accountability to tackle it effectively. Actually, Otherwise, we're just kicking the can down the road. :(.

What gets me is that while the effects of climate change are super real and urgent, I wonder if we’re really putting enough focus on the solutions that can actually make a difference. Sure, funding cuts are a big issue, but it feels like we need to talk more about how we can innovate and adapt rather than just pointing fingers. It’s not just about who’s in charge, it’s about how we all can work together to tackle these challenges, right? Actually, 🌍.

What gets me is the idea that funding cuts to environmental programs are the sole reason for our struggles with climate change. Sure, those cuts suck, but it feels like a lot of it also comes down to how we’re using the resources we do have. Ngl, it’s not just about throwing money at the problem; we need a complete shift in mindset and action.

Remember when the Paris Agreement was signed in 2016? It was a huge step for global climate action, but Trump pulled the U.S. out of it in 2017, which sent a message that we weren’t serious about tackling climate change. That decision really set back progress and made it harder for the U.S. to lead on this issue, especially when we’re facing so many urgent environmental challenges right now. I mean, We need a leader who prioritizes science and international cooperation, not one who walks away from global commitments. 🌎.
