radical environmentalism [Senryu]

ironically
most powerful of nations
mocks climate change-sad

Style / type: 
Structured: Eastern
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
This is based on the startling fact that USA withdrew from the Paris Accord supposedly not recognizing global warming to be resulting from unabated pollution ... though information in contest tab suggests short forms are not likely to work I am still posting this in short form not with an intent to win the contest but to draw attention of those who care to read this about an alarming fact such acts of deliberate indifference by a developed nation are bound to cause even more environmental damage which is the theme of this contest....

The form is right on target. But to accuse the only nation which has actually Been reducing green house emissions as opposed to just promising to do so is a bit overboard in my opinion. Being a member of some group is easy. Actually Doing something not so easy and the U.S. leads the world in reducing emissions.

without arguing much I still back the message in my poem and its title...you know why the Secretary of Environment had to step down and his corrupt practices and makes me laugh that he would like to be nominated for the position of AG to replace Jeff Sessions....period...

Oh the other nations are fools eh! and USA doesn't have the leadership skill to turn wrong into right if they are so environmentally conscious to the extent that their Secretary for Environment was guilty of corruption and had to step down and yet nursed ambitions of being nominated to the position of AG...

withdrawn from the Paris accord has since reduced our emissions more than the nations which stayed in. Indeed some nations (most notably China) have done little more than offer promises of reductions sometime in the future. BTW if I'm not mistaken the functionary you mention has been or is on the verge of being replaced. It is my hope that if the present AG is replaced he would be replaced by Trey Gowdy......problem is Gowdy is trying his best to get out of the Washington cess pool.

No comment other than USA did not deem it fit to be part of world effort and prefers to be isolated ....

a piece of paper mean more than actions?

do the bonds, green backs...birth certificate...and many more pieces of paper mean anything or nothing?
