This is really a BIG deal… No #GulfStream means everything coastal must change. Or die.
This is really a BIG deal. The Gulf Stream current is THE key to the marine and estuary foodchain up and down the US East Coast. No #GulfStream means everything coastal must change. Or die. Everything.
Because, Climate change is real. It doesn’t even really matter whether you believe we humans are the cause. What matters is that we CAN do something about it. We can change. For the better, if we CHOOSE to. We can CHANGE, to a sustainable, climate neutral lifestyle.
Fuck all the arguments against…we’ve heard them: Not practical. Expensive. Will cause unemployment. #YadaYadaYada
They simply are false. Political fear tactics by powerful entities with something to lose if we move away from oil, gas, and coal. Entities that pay very little in taxes and make millions in profits because we don’t have affordable, clean and green choices to THEIR products. They are a cartel. A monopoly, with many allies in Congress, thanks to the legal bribery we call our political $ystem…but I digress from my point. Sorry.
Choosing Earth-Friendy energy and green products shouldn’t be the more expensive, alternative choice. It should be the ONLY choice. It should be affordable and easy for ALL. Everyone.
Politicians want us to believe we’ll all suffer if we choose the sustainable, climate friendly, non-fossil-fuel-based options. In truth, for MOST of us…most of our lives will improve. New sustainable industries will grow the economy, promote innovation and create jobs. Hopefully they’ll pay taxes, too. More for everyone.
Only the super-sized, dino-energy shilling, tax-avoiding parasite corporations (oil gas & coal corps…you know who they are) and their comrades in oil (read: business partners) will suffer.
For awhile, anyway. Until those oil-slick corporate barons figure out another way to royally fuck us all up the ass. Sustainably. ~jg
