This evening I heard Tara Zrinski, a member of the Northampton County Council, discuss the Green New Deal. She pointed out that we have very little time, and that some of the global warming that has already taken place won’t be reversed. Zrinski noted that Pennsylvania is one of the least active states in trying to combat climate change.
Monday’s Morning Call front page article certainly backed up Zrinski’s talk. Pennsylvania’s carbon emissions make up about about one-half of one percent of the global carbon emissions. That means that Pennsylvania, one state of fifty in one country in over two hundred is by itself one of the world’s leading producers of carbon emissions.
Do you think our Republican legislators are concerned? Do they care about their grandchildren? Do they understand the nature of the crisis? I think you know the answers to those questions. They seem to care about the “unborn.” The already born, not at all.
