The weather here in the South Pacific matches the atmosphere in global politics. I’m sure those who voted against measures to save our planet’s climate and for reckless economical growth are happy now, thinking that the prices for their groceries will magically drop with a “strong man” leading the “great nation”. Well, the prices won’t drop. They have been rising all over the planet, which some lobbies probably making big money while blaming the wars in Europe and the Middle East (but that’s just my personal conspiracy theory based on common sense rather than fake news).
What people should be worried about is how they might be next in line to lose their houses, all their belongings and maybe even their lives in the next cyclone (or hurricane), flood or wildfire cause by drought. All of these events are getting more severe as the pollution caused by humans is heating up Mother Earth to a point she can no longer cope with.
We’re at a point where all people or rather all nations should forget their animosities and work together to make sure that we still have a future in which to worry about prices of groceries or arguments about politics or borders or religion or gender, etc.
