The lungs of the planet are on fire. As you may have seen on the news, the Amazon rainforest is experiencing historic fires, and Brazil is dragging their feet in dealing with the crisis.
Then, the G7 dedicated a measly $20 million in aid — which Brazil subsequently rejected. If Trump had cared at all about this environmental crisis, he’d have worked with Brazil to convince them to take the aid, and even offered more on top of it.
But Trump has abdicated our position of international leadership. The United States is no longer leading the world on trade, tech, or dealing with climate change. Instead, we’re focusing our efforts on tariffs, appeasing Russia, and decrying the impact of windmills.
When we’re spending almost $700 billion on defense every year, we can afford more than a few million bucks to try and save the Amazon rainforest, which provides 20% of the earth’s oxygen.
The United States can be an international leader — we can use the model set by states like Iowa, and export good wind technology across the world, creating prosperity and economic activity in the process. Our President shouldn’t be throwing our domestic green tech industry under the bus.
We need to do more to embrace the good, and minimize the bad. But first, our leaders need to understand what they’re working with. Together, we can make that a reality.
