Tough choices

Resident calls for elected officials to take action on climate change

To this baby boomer's attention comes the moment of life where it's time for politician to learn a scholastic course about Gaia.

Anthropogenic-caused climate change will then appear at the forefront of scientific study which brings many different issues into a single arena. The different issues show science and biblical knowledge may actually collaborate. Ironically, caring trained politicians ready to  serve a country or community, would discover sustainable jobs are within  planet-friendly industries. Unethical and confused politicians making the need to repair planet health a political game, so far, have subtracted the grandkids' futures. A comprehensive, one-month regulated lesson would help make politics ethical for our very right to life aboard Gaia.

Any politician not playing by the rules of true environmental knowledge could face charges for crimes against the planet and human health.

So, you don't like the gas tax? Get an electric car. Let's stop pumping fossil fuel out of the ground with electricity. Invest in lithium and precious metals.  Stop complaining, all of us know better. Do you need wealth?  Join the green economy. Gently say goodbye to polluting, greedy, nonsense. Get out of the '50s and up to the present, then we start moving ahead. We can't run a country like a business. It needs to run better than a business.

Operations management for a country is a different game.  A yesterday politician without required knowledge, who says, "We have tough choices" is lying, re-directing and deceitful. There are no choices at all. Let's get busy at a real jobs economy.  We need fresh air. Let's vote for trained politicians only — that is the tough choice.
