To the editor: Regardless of all of the promise of renewable power, President Trump has “lower many federal renewable power applications, with a renewed emphasis on fossil fuels” (“U.N. says booming photo voltaic, wind and different clear power hit world tipping level for even decrease prices,” July 22). This whole scenario is analogous to the parable of the good Samaritan.
Recalling the parable, an injured man is ignored by individuals who must be anticipated to assist, however is aided by a member of what was seen as a lowly class.
The injured man within the parable corresponds to the human and financial damages from local weather change, which overwhelming scientific proof exhibits is getting progressively worse. We must always count on efficient governmental motion, however as a substitute the issue is being exacerbated by Trump, who’s rolling again initiatives that fight local weather change. The category making an attempt to assist are out-of-power Democrats, who’re deprived as was the Samaritan within the parable.
With all this energy held by such a harmful president and a sycophantic Republican Congress, it’s important that Democrats acquire management of Congress within the midterms.
