Open Letter to President Obama
I have a comment about our future. Today, atmospheric CO2 has reached 400 ppm for the first time in 800,000 years. That is not something to celebrate. If we do not change course dramatically, life as we know it will be a thing of the past. Please, Mr. President, for the sake of our children, stand up to the non-renewable energy lobby and put an end to this senseless greedy destruction. No Keystone XL – or any other tar sand crap. No deep water drilling.
It is time to stop ignoring the facts: Climate disruption is happening. The only way to lessen it is by reversing course. Solutions are out there. It’s time to act and implement them.
As the President, I expect you to take a leadership role in saving humanity from its self-destruction.
Please let us know what his reply is!
Haha! Well, I suppose no reply is a reply, too…
would you share here your way of dealing with this problem? it might offer other readers some ideas or encouragement…..
I don’t even have the ‘stomach’ to be as ‘easy’ on him as you do. my overpowering need is to be harder on him, though, what can really help……..i haven’t a clue…..
i’d be scolding him: ‘is THIS what you have to offer the people who believed in you? where are those true leadership abilities you showed us on your first campaign trail? it is sad to see you disintegrate into a mere puppet manipulated by the most decadent forces on the planet…….and literally becoming just another one of them.
all your talents and efforts are going to waste…..you could have been another MLK, and spearheaded the true renewal of our culture to adapt to the changes toward a better future……
you are leaving your people leaderless and discouraged to face the present and coming extreme suffering that is already spreading over the planet.
you have taken the official lead in driving america down to destruction……and it will become identified for the future with your name and ‘legacy’
sorry for you and for us all, mr. president…..
*****
(that’s what i’d really like to say…..but don’t have the courage to do…..)
If we want America to be a leader, it’s time for us to act!
Totally agree, Natalya! That’s one reason I sent this letter to Obama…
Do you have any suggestions on what other actions we can take? (I am planning to write a post with some suggestions this weekend…)
