Politics and climate change don’t mix

Everything in today’s world has to be political, whether it’s keeping children safe in schools or trying to save the environment for future generations.There are a lot of people who are climate change deniers or are skeptic to the idea of climate change.

When you search in google “climate change,” you get an unexpected amount of results that talk about how climate change isn’t real.

Why is this? Why do people feel the need to argue whether climate change exists, when the same people could put that energy towards making the environment a better place for future generations.

Regardless of your political view whether you believe in it or not, everyone should want to make the world a better place.

Everyone should want to make the earth better, so our children’s children live on a beautiful planet. Kathleen Hartnett, a climate change skeptic, was appointed by President Trump to be his top environmentalist adviser.

President Trump ultimately withdrew her name from the position. Hartnett had trouble answering questions about climate change posed by senate committee of environment November of last year. Hartnett stood by her position on how climate change is a real to a certain extent, but why?

Why even argue on how big of an impact it has on the earth? It has an impact on the earth, so let’s fix it. 

She has the platform to make a great change to our environment, so why not use it? Instead of arguing about politics, use that energy think of ways to save our planet.

Animals are becoming very vulnerable due to climate change, why not make a difference for all of them. Climate change can cause a quarter of land animals, birds, and plants to become extinct.

Arctic sea ice level is a very rapid decline, and has been quite some time now. It is on such a decline, climate scientists describe it as “a death spiral.”

The same arctic sea levels are home to many arctic species who are now be

coming endangered. Climate change is affecting multiple species of animals and plants across the globe.

There have been a number of horrifying pictures on the internet of polar bears struggling to survive due to climate change.

Polar bears rely heavily on ice to travel, hunt and rest. People with platforms to make a change on a global scale for the better of future generations aren’t getting the job done.

President Trump is a climate change skeptic, and he has one of the largest platforms to create change in the world. President Trump has the ability to move in the right direction to create a difference for our planet.

There are many movements attempting to save the planet because our planet needs saving. Regardless if you are a democrat or a republican, everyone is a person. Everyone has a family.

Don’t you want your future family to live on a beautiful planet.

This isn’t a political issue, it is a person issue.

  1. I like the soft back-peddling that alarmists are starting to take. I like how the discussion is moving away from politics. It’s interesting to see the official narrative morphing from global warming to climate change to species extinction (which has virtually nothing to do with CO2). But to say that polar bears are threatened is a joke because anyone who follows the news is well aware that polar bear populations are healthier than they’ve been in 40 years. Polar bears are thriving: they are not currently threatened with extinction. Tens of thousands of polar bears did not die as a result of more than a decade of low summer sea ice, as was predicted. Polar bears don’t need sea ice in late summer/early fall as long as they are well-fed in the spring.
