“The next generation would be justified in looking back at us and asking what were you thinking? Couldn’t you hear what the scientists were saying? Couldn’t you hear what Mother Nature was screaming at you?”
– Former Vice President Al Gore
This is a Wakeup Call
We no longer have the luxury of ignoring climate change
“What’s really breathtaking is how ill-prepared we are for such changes.” – Bill McKibben, “This is How Human Extinction Could Play Out,” Rolling Stone
There isn’t much time left. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that the “planet has only until 2030 to stem catastrophic climate change.” Most countries are experiencing extreme drought, wildfires, floods and biodiversity loss around the world. We must act with constructive outrage now.

“Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it’s one we can prevent if we act now. By denying the evidence for climate change, and pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, Donald Trump will cause avoidable environmental damage to our beautiful planet, endangering the natural world, for us and our children.”

America Abandoned
Available Now On Amazon
An Amazon Hot New Release! This may be the most important presidential election in America’s history.
America Abandoned explains what happened and how the corporations and billionaires took over America. Our democracy has been stolen. Greedy, dishonorable thieves stole it while we trusted them and they abandoned us. A powerful moment in our lives happens when we first realize we have lost something, especially something of great value. We are stunned. We feel empty inside.
We feel betrayed. We want it back. When we realize our loss, we hope to remedy it, to get that thing back, and only then will we take immediate action to make that happen. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, as the old cliché says; sometimes we have to lose something before we can understand its value. We’ve lost our democracy. Want to get it back?
