Climate Change is Affecting the Power Grid

“The consequences of climate change will affect every aspect of an electricapower system, from generation transmission and distribution to end-user demand.” Moody’s Investors Service   Read more here.

I find this Moody’s report(above) crucial as Mr. Trump and Secretary Mnuchin are clearly in denial of one of the greatest threats facing our planet, climate change. They are ignoring the facts and they are attacking a seventeen year old who clearly knows more about science and the reality of climate change than they do. Yes, her focus is on science  and the future. Trump and Mnuchin think profits and making money.  I wonder if the Moody’s report is fake news? Mnuchin VS Greta

Why don’t they just ignore Greta? Why do they belittle and make fun of her? They are the adults?

What expectations should we have from the leaders of the United States? First, they shouldn’t make fun of people, and especially a 17 year old.  Yes, disagree, but don’t make fun of people because you disagree with them. Agree to disagree, without put-downs! Second, I expect that our officials work for the best interests of the people of the United States and the people of the world, prioritizing keep them safe.  They need to listen to the scientists and search for the best information avaliable, not just gut feelings. They should care  about people over profit and money. Finally, I expect they tell they truth and follow the rule of law. Bad values will catch up with the economy eventually!

It is more expensive to fix things than to keep it in good order in the first place. What do Mnuchin and Trump care? They will be long gone when things are beyond repair, and people are suffering from air and water pollution, droughts, fires flooding and rising seas.

There is no planet B and there won’t be a way to go back and start over. We must reduce our carbon output and keep our air and water clean now and not next year!

Climate change will do more than sabotage our power sources. It will also harm the wine industry

Finally, things you can do today, choose one to help the Earth!
