Skolstrejk för klimatetat #ClimateStrike - With Wildfires Focusing Our Attention on How Very Real Climate Change IS... Now Would be a Great Time to Take Action... For Example: Drive Cars Less... a LOT LESS! The Burning of Fossil Fuel is Universally Acknowledged to Cause Climate Change.

Before You Start The Car, ask... Is this Journey REALLY NEEDED? With the Price of Gasoline So Very High... Millions of People are Simply Leaving The Damn Thing Parked!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

and Yet... It appears that the Vast Majority of people in the USA have NOT Connected the Dots... This past Thanksgiving, Record numbers of Travelers Filled the Airports... Flying on Optional Trips to Visit Family... and ALL were Spewing Vast Quantities of Air Pollution from those Jet Airplanes... and NONE seemed Concerned About CAUSING Climate Change by Their Actions...
An Alternative to Jet Airplane Travel to Visit Family is Using Zoom on the Computer... There is Zero Air Pollution in a Picture Phone Call...



The Climate IS CHANGING. Soon California will become more like Arizona... all the trees will burn and we'll replace them with cactus... the Climate of Tijuana will move North and soon Oregon will be Like Baja... The Only Solution is for everyone to Keep Moving North... and that works great until we all live on the North Pole... a warm sunny place... then where do we go?

SO... What Can We Do? Protest Online Using "digital strikes" Worldwide ECO-ACTION! - Greta Thunberg says: “We Are Striking to Disrupt the System”

"Make America Greta Again" - Climate Change is Real and Caused By Human Behavior... Here are Some Simple Things We Can Do To Help Prevent Disaster.

Drive Cars Less. WAY Less... The Next Time You Change Jobs, Select a Location NEAR HOME to Reduce Time and Money Wasted Commuting to Work... I was Lucky Enough to Be Able to Ride the Bus to Work in Both Eureka and San Jose, California... It was a LOT of Fun Chatting with the Other Bus Riders... Especially the Beautiful Women... You Can't Do THAT is a Car...

Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes. Is There REALLY a Need to FLY? Where are You Going that Couldn't Be Done Using a Picture Phone??? Do Your Business Meetings Online... and Try Your Next Vacation Near Home... Maybe Camping in the Sierras??? Or Hiking the Appalachian Trail???

Eat Fewer Hamburgers... A LOT of Global Warming is Caused by Cows... Maybe Those Meat Alternative are worth Checking Out? OR... Maybe Just Enjoy those Ancient Meals Like a Falafel? Middle Eastern Pocket Bread, Ground Garbanzo Bean Mash Deep Fat Fried, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes and INSANELY HOT SAUCE!

Stop buying New Clothes... Every Time You Buy New, a Corporation Collects Raw Materials, Employs Slaves in Asia to Make the Garment and Ships them By Boat Half Way Around the World and then Drives Them in Trucks to You... Why Not Just Go to Your Local Thrift Store and Buy Recycled Clothes? Our Thrift Store is a Benefit for the Eureka Homeless Shelter. Employing Homeless People and Paying for the Rescue Mission's Food and Rent Bills from their Profits. We Bought a Couch, two chairs, a Piano and Countless Books there... It Wonderful! and they Deliver!

Climate Change is Real and We All ought to DO SOMETHING... I don't own a Car... Rarely do I travel... except that I walk all over the place... every day... I use UBER when I need to go a longer distance... and... STOPPED FLYING IN JET AIRPLANES Totally!


American History: What Happened in 2019...
DC CLIMATE STRIKE – SHUT DOWN BUSINESS-AS-USUAL... Youth leaders from around the world have called for a climate strike and global week of action from September 20th-27th. They have been taking the lead so far, but now they are calling on all of us to take action. In Washington, DC we will be answering the call and building on the momentum of the youth climate strikes in a major way:

On September 23rd,
We are going to Shut Down Washington, DC.

We will block key infrastructure to stop business-as-usual, bringing the whole city to a gridlocked standstill. Parents, workers, college students, and everyone who is concerned about the climate crisis will skip work and school and put off their other responsibilities to take action on the climate crisis.

Global Climate Strike 9/20

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get
Everything You Want.
Get More or Want Less!

What are the climate strikes—and how did they get started? In August 2018, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg began skipping school every day to protest in front of Sweden’s parliament in the weeks before the Swedish general election. She demanded climate legislation that would bring Sweden in line with the Paris Agreement (keeping global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels). After the election, Thunberg continued to skip school to strike on Fridays, inspiring thousands of young people worldwide to follow suit. Since Thunberg’s Friday strikes, youth around the world have protested in front of their local legislatures on Fridays in solidarity, beginning the #FridaysForFuture movement. In a culmination of all their efforts, strikers from 117 countries are calling for massive global climate action, by everyone, on September 20th and again on September 27th—a full week of concentrated action that the strikers are calling the #WeekForFuture movement. https://www.chatelaine.com/living/global-climate-strike-canada-2019/ Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change. She says her message for President Trump is the same thing she tells other politicians: Listen to science, and take responsibility. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/13/760538254/greta-thunberg-to-u-s-you-have-a-moral-responsibility-on-climate-change Tumblr, Kickstarter, WordPress, and BitTorrent are among the companies to support the Global Climate Strike by donating ad space or shutting down their websites The youth-led global climate strike scheduled for next Friday has already secured a number of corporate backers, and now the campaign is going online. A number of the world's most popular and influential websites announced this week that they will help to promote the strike, pledging to spread the word on social media, put banners on their websites to signal support for the strikes, and in some cases shut down their operations. https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/3081528/websites-join-climate-strike Why People Worldwide Will Be Walking Off The Job Later This Month.

Greta Thunberg met with Obama. Refuses to Meet Trump. Global Climate Strike 9/20 - Take Action! - Refuse to Go to Work. Refuse to Go to School. WE SHOULD HAVE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY EVERY YEAR ON 9/20... Like Earth Day or Christmas!

HEADLINE: Obama meets with teen climate activist Greta Thunberg: 'You and me, we're a team' https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/17/politics/barack-obama-greta-thunberg-climate-change/index.html

Former President Barack Obama on Monday met with Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as part of her visit to Washington, DC, to promote environmental issues.

"Just 16, @GretaThunberg is already one of our planet's greatest advocates," Obama tweeted after his meeting with Thunberg. "Recognizing that her generation will bear the brunt of climate change, she's unafraid to push for real action."
Thunberg established herself as a bona fide climate action figure after staging weekly sit-ins outside the Swedish Parliament, spawning a burgeoning movement of youth climate activists to hold their own protests in more than 100 cities worldwide.
She arrived in New York last month after sailing across the Atlantic to speak at the United Nations Climate Action Summit, which will take place on September 23. Thunberg traveled on a zero-emissions sailboat to reduce the environmental impact of her journey, according to a statement from her team.
Video of the meeting between Thunberg and Obama released by the Obama Foundation on Tuesday shows the former President asking Thunberg about recent climate strikes she participated in while she visited New York and Washington.
"Everyone is so nice and all of these young people seem so eager, very enthusiastic which is a very good thing," she said.
Before the two fist-bumped, Obama said to Thunberg: "You and me, we're a team."
While Obama championed addressing environmental issues while in office, President Donald Trump -- a longtime climate crisis denier -- has attempted to remove many of the policy guardrails installed by the Obama administration to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases.
In 2017, Obama lamented Trump for withdrawing the US from the Paris climate agreement, saying in a statement that the deal was intended to "protect the world we leave to our children."
Thunberg said in the Obama Foundation's video that creativity from young people is key.
"My message to young people who want to have an impact is to be creative," she said "There's so incredibly much you can do and to not underestimate yourself."

It seems like Everything about the Culture of the Internal Combustion Engine is Going Crazy these Days. Notice a TREND? Consider:
1. Global Climate Strike 9/20 and Shutdown Washington DC 9/23 Civil Disobedience - Traffic Block.  
2. Saudi Arabian Oil Refinery on Fire - Price of Oil Goes UP! 
3. UAW Labor Union Strike. 
4. Oil Tanker Hijacking in the Middle East. 
5. New Car Sales Down Nationwide. 
6. Global Warming Causes Wildfires in Alaska, Siberia, Brazil and Indonesia. 
7. Climate Change Causes Massive Hurricanes... Now Spawning Tornadoes! 
8. Endless Traffic Jams in Every City... Gridlock All Day Long... 
9. Gas Powered Leaf Blowers Outlawed in Many Cities... GET A Freaking RAKE! No Gas Required! 
10. Construction of the "BIG U" Dike in Manhattan, NYC to Prevent Flooding Due to Rising Sea Level. Real Estate becomes Worthless when the Streets are Under Water... 

Remember: When You Drive a Car, You Choke Greta Thunberg and all Her Classmates...

Will Saudi Arabia BE ABLE To Buy Lockheed Missiles for their War In Yemen? Will they Continue to Bribe Trump? With Half Their Oil Refineries ON FIRE, Will Their Opinions About Anything Be Significant At All?

 All of a Sudden the Value of Oil Being Sold by IRAN Went Way UP! Will Iran Do More Bombing? Without Oil, Saudi Arabians MAY Pursue Lucrative Careers as Camel Herders... Frankly, I'm Glad to See Them Burn... 9/11 Payback Time! 

Remember: When the Price of Gasoline Goes UP, People Drive Less... Global Warming is CAUSED by People Driving Cars and Trucks and Vans and Lawnmowers and Motorcycles and Leaf Blowers and Tractors and Winnebagos... The Era of the Internal Combustion Engine is Rapidly Coming to a Close. How Can We Possibly Survive? Trucks Bringing Food To Grocery Stores is Essential... People Driving Cars to Work is Essential... What IF The Saudi Arabians Bomb Iran? Set Their Oil Refineries on Fire TOO? Soon, the Only People Pumping Oil Will Be The USA, Russia and Venezuela...

It Will Be An "Interesting" World to Live in... Good Luck, Kids! Sorry We Screwed It Up So Bad...
