Americans, Hang Your Heads in Shame
Donald Trump today withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord. When Trump went to see the Pope recently he was seeking moral legitimacy for his presidency. "See, the Pope will meet with me." But the Pope told Trump not to withdraw from the accord. Trump did it anyway. Trump is a naughty little boy, he likes to do what he is told not to do.
We Americans, we should hang our heads in shame. We allowed this man who is really an obnoxious child to be elected. Now he is embarrassing us on a grand scale. On his recent trip there was a moment when Trump shoved others out of the way so he could preen and stand in the front row for a photo. The film clip of this should make every American wince. It's painful to see the leader of this country make such an utter fool out of himself.
Nearly 200 countries of the world agree that actions need to be taken concerning climate change. Now, the United States turns and walks away and says "we don't care." That's Donald Trump, "we don't care" for others, for the earth, for life God gives to all. Americans, hang your heads in shame. Then open your eyes, lift up your heads, and do everything you can to get rid of this president as soon as possible.
It is true that everyone around the world knows that Trump is a disgrace, as the article below indicates. But he can really damage things. He will hamper making the necessary transition in this country to renewable energy, efforts which would also be very good for the economy, providing new jobs, initiatives, and innovations. But Trump has his eyes on the past and he got elected by evoking nostalgia and stoking hatred against minority groups and immigrants. When nations (like individuals) act on the basis of hatred and anger only bad stuff will result, like extreme weather events across the country, especially the South, where so many folks don't even believe climate change is the cause of their extreme weather.
When extreme weather events happen people realize they need one another. But with Trump not caring about climate change there will be more and more hurricanes and tornadoes. People will look around and say, "why is this happening to us?" The answer will be partly, "Donald Trump didn't care." And Americans elected him. In the midst of the devastation, then, Americans will have to hang their heads in shame. They did it to themselves.
Here is some helpful comments in the New Yorker magazine:
After milking the fate of the planet for maximum drama, Donald Trump announced today that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord. To reach this decision, the President had to dismiss decades' worth of research by the country's most prestigious scientific organizations. He needed to resist pleas from the U.S.'s staunchest allies; ignore appeals from many of its largest corporations, including ExxonMobil; and disregard the counsel of his Secretary of State. All this for, well, what? To shore up his base on the coal-hugging right?

We have to wake up to the fierce urgency of the now.
We must pivot so that solving the world's biggest challenges profitably becomes the core pursuit of business.
We share a long and proud history that has continued to evolve and progress for nearly 150 years.
And now we need to look to the future. The world is facing unprecedented change. How do we build a better company?
How do we evolve for the generations to come and for our next 150 years?
To succeed we must be attuned to the world around us.
The top two global risks are: Economy and Climate.
How do we create a future that will have a positive impact on people, communities and the world?
The possibility of a FUTURE happens when we have inspired leadership, strategic thinking and a disciplined but flexible approach.
The challenges are great and we need to make sure that we have the tools, resources, and creativity to enhance our position as a sustainability leader.
We must identify our biggest opportunities and sustain the gains we achieve.
How do we continue to make products that create a broader impact?
And along the way educate, inspire, and empower a new generation of leaders to address humanity's grand challenges.
Our vision: A world of sustainable progress and enduring results.
