CLIMATE CHANGE FACETS: THE TRUMP EFFECT
LUIZ ANTONIO GOMES, MSc, MBA

After the absolutely reprehensible anti-democratic attempt against?#Trump?'s life, it should ironically benefit him to win the lottery of becoming the next President (#47th) of the United States
This, just especially after the repetitive demonstrations of the current President?#Biden?'s long-term questionable cognition strength to remain the commander-in-chief of the most powerful, influential, and stability-making country on the Planet
On the other hand, the increased probability of Trump's victory sends shivering distress up the spine of?#climatologists?and?#climatechange?activists because he repeatedly called the evident?#cllimatecris?a "hoax" (swindle) and that he would, to start with, dismantle the in-place basic environmental protection rules and the tax reliefs to stimulate families reducing energy costs
Trump's?MA GA?(" #MakeAmericaGreatAgain?") or "?#AmericaFirst?" movement (which also entails heads-on antagonism against the mainstream news media as well as the so-called?Deep-State) is fully supported by the fossil fuel industry, which according to?#Bloomberg?is its "undisputed top pick" and is the principal multibillion of dollar campaign donator, exactly the main villain of the worldwide opponents of the rapidly up-trending?#climagechaos
Historically, under his first mandate, Trump invested a lot of his time squeezing and undermining, as per the?#NewYorkTimes, all "?#climate?policies and rolled back many more rules governing clean air, water, wildlife and toxic chemicals"
This same most trusted news vehicle also stressed that "Trump Administration removes scientists in charge of assessing climate change"
#CNBC?also highlighted that Trump shall also slash the current?#InflationReductionAct?(#IRA) which includes anti?#globalwarming?practices with the plan to cut #carbonemissions by 40% until the end of this decade and lead the US into a #net-zero economy around 2050??
He also spoke, according to?#Forbes, about the very opposite i.e. a potential?#globalfreezing?as the weather [naturally] goes up and down
And in striking antithesis to the facts, the respected?#WashingtonPost?published that Trump ridiculed #sealevelrise and sarcastically, in conform with the?#RollingStone?News, he further voiced that "the oceans are going to rise 1/100th of an inch in the next 300 years and...is going to create more oceanfront property"??

This statement, for?#climateexperts, is a great paradox as his own famed property?#Mar-a-Lago?in Florida will be at the forefront of destruction with the record-breaking rising of the seas? ?
In addition, his views would also validate the taking the United States, again, out of the?#ParisClimateAgreement?(#PCA) and in parallel dismiss?#IPCC?'s urgent crusade against the civilization-threatening, highly probable upcoming,?#climateupheavel?
The bottom-line is that more than ever, climate change scientists, experts, activists and all concerned with this greatest menace/ peril against the human race must join forces and from an individual/ citizen-of-the-world level (i.e., beyond country frontiers, gender, religion and political bias) press upwardly (i.e., from the bottom up) all other global decision-makers/ leaders to take immediate bitter resolute actions to try to stall or, at the minimum, slow down/ postpone the ever more evident?#climatehell?while governments and the whole society put in place even more effective ammunition to protect and preserve all life on this Planet
This pivotal critical situation gives even more credence to my multi-social media campaign to elect the?#UnitedNations?'s chief?#AntonioGuterres?the winner of the 2024?#NobelPeacePrize?for his unmatchable fierce and crucial efforts to alert the world's population and leaders about the approaching?#climateevil?and focus all our spirits and engagements against it
PLEASE HELP WITH THE CAMPAIGN on behalf of Mr?#Guterres?extensively justified in the article:??NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2024: UN's ANTONIO GUTERRES, A WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN FOR HIS LAUREATE?

Certainly, the already arduous uphill battle against climate change is going to be even more steeper and bumpier.
Important Notes:?1) Even planning to vote for Trump one can be reasonable in saving-oneself & family and support the global?#climateaction?efforts?because the surging climate catastrophes have no mercy or political party (100% loyalty in this case can be life-threatening). There will be nowhere to hide.
? ? 2)?it might sound strange to laureate a Nobel Peace Prize on account of sensible struggles to prevent the mythy climate changes but the?Swedish Nobel Academy Committee?who elects the winners indeed includes this type of merit within this Prize as we witnessed, at least once, the?ex-US President Al Gore being granted with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007?for this very same reason on a time in which climate disasters were yet moderate/manageable compared to the daily record-breaking weather extremes of today.?
