Of course, planting trees will help but definitely does not go far enough. But…BUT the amazing thing was that instead of calling climate change a hoax as he has in the past….and instead of the Republicans NOT standing and applauding…there was a moment…a moment when climate change was actually acknowledged. Wow! And again, I say, WOW!

When George McGovern was running again Nixon, the question for the peace movement was…do we stop organizing around peace and put all our eggs in McGovern’s basket? Or do we keep our focus on ending the Vietnam War? Someone said something along the lines of… if the grassroots organization is weak, even McGovern will continue the Vietnam War, and if strong enough, even Nixon will end the war.
This is what is happening with climate change. If we continue to stand strong, then even Trump will acknowledge climate change is a viable issue; if we don’t…
Greta Thunberg should be proud. Donald J. Trump said “Climate Change” and did not say “hoax” in the same breath. Organize. We HAVE to organize.
