November 1, 2019 “And God saw the earth and behold it was corrupted” Noach 6:12
The Climate Change-denying Trump Administration has proposed logging of Alaska’s coastal Tongass Forest, the last intact temperate rainforest in the world, threatening pristine water sources and climate stability. Surprise? Previously Trump endorsed the massively polluting open-pit Pebble and Donlin gold/copper mines and natural gas pipeline and port, all on the headwaters of Alaska’s Bristol Bay, the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery. Add to that his recompense to Big Coal and Big Oil, offering them national monuments lands for mining and drilling, waiving coal ash and water pollution regulations; and revoking the Clean Power Plan. He has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Agreement, revoked sea level rise restrictions in Federal construction, and virtually halted EPA criminal prosecutions. Time to build an ark? China/NBA Kaepernick-compulsory patriotism, protest as long as you don’t offend me with your form of protest.
