CLIMATE CHANGE RE-VISITED

CLIMATE CHANGE RE-VISTED The time would be remembered oh, so well. The media had reported on the known fact that not only were Republican obstructing President Bidens plans, in every way, possible, however, as the media would discover, it was not just VOTES, which the Republicans were preventing, it was how much money they had been spending, in the lead up to Decision 2022. Now, while it IS FACT that Mr. Biden proposed spending, of about $1.9 trillion, for both economic stimulus, and to re-build so much of the nations crumbling interior, What got the Republicans so furious about was the fact that the media, which had, already told the public that, starting with Mr. Bidens election, that “war-chests” had begun filling with donations, totalling tens of billions of dollars. This is why, using a combination of Freedom of information requests, and some skillful hackers, the media had decided to find out just how MUCH money the Republicans actually had. This, because the party was reported as having “only” $500 million. Between legal, and illegal, access, the media learned that the Republicans actually had some $2.75, to $3 trillion dollars, heading into Decision 2022. This is why the party could make such BIG “noises”, about government waste, between November, 2020, and 2022. While several Republican “strong-holds” had their members pledge to vote Republican, no matter WHO the candidate was, There was just one problem, which the party could never have prepared for. To date, the Republicans had spent millions of dollars, on countless campaigns, all to say that climate change was just a Democratic HOAX. Many people did HOPE that the Republicans were correct, even when, in early 2022, the National Weather Service issued a warning, saying that the fall, weather, season would be the worst to date. I will say that I did agree, with the Republicans, that NO one cast, accurately, predict future weather. Not with the degree that the computers were predicting. The Republicans would say “Trust us. The weather will be no worse than it has been, in the past.” When my own Democratic Party was asked, all they would say was “Be prepared, just in case.” Whether or not the weather had been manipulated, became a mere, secondary, point. What was FACT was that the Republicans had raised over $2 trillion towards taking back congress, and shutting Mr. Biden down, completely. Going into the fall, the Republicans had been shown with a decisive “edge”, over Biden. The flood of donations, only slowed when the skies began to cloud over, and rain, snow, and ice, began to fall. While Republicans called the weather “Just the normal changing of seasons”, fewer people were convinced, by the day. One reporter even stated the irony that Republicans had campaigned, in a variety of areas, promising NO hazzardous conditions, when, Just after they left, the skies had opened, dumping record amounts of rain, snow, and ice on the population. Still, the Republicans said “Just give it TIME, and it will sort itself out.” This, while Democrats were ordering large supplies of food, clothing, and shelters. Even when no less than Two, Republican cities called in S.O.S., saying “Must abandon. Pumps cant keep up.” The Republicans just said “NO problem.” BY the time the election was only two weeks away, distress calls had come in, from as many as 75 cities. Lists of needed supplies, were being faxed to Washington D.C. as quickly as possible. Still, the party held firm. They were not about to tax the rich, just to provide for the impoverished. The party’s response was a near-mirror image of George Walker Bushes “famous” speech, to New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina. The party told the homeless “IF you want, you may re-build. No one will stop you from doing this, yourself.” Between ice, snow, rain, and record breaking heat, many Republican strong-holds began turning to Mr. Biden, asking for immediate help. The Republicans worst mistake was in, openly, telling the media “The United States government can NOT AFFORD to “come to the rescue” every time there is a problem. If people want help, that is what bank loans, and mortgages, are for.” Still, even when a total of 47 cities declared emergencies, the party said “Let them deal with it, themselves.” This would be the time when the party saw donations, and membership, drop. While it would be estimated that the Republicans would spend $2.57 trillion, on advertising, the vote spoke much louder. With climate change having wiped out atleast 15, coastal towns, the displaced had changed parties, and had joined us Dems. This is why, no matter how much the Republicans spent, on Decision 2022, they would keep ONLY 10% of congress. Still, as President Biden had told the people, over and over “The answer wont be as simple as a wave of a hand. It will require work.” Still, the Republicans, who remained, just kept asking “How much will it COST?” They abstained, or voted, “Present”, to every measure. While Mr. Biden HAD listened to Mother Nature, the most recent wave, of destruction, had added trillions more to the cost of his plans. The $1.7 trillion plan had to be re-evaluated, for the recent destruction. The United States would have to ADD another $12 trillion, just to get things back to normal. While NO one was “happy”, about this, the simple fact was that this money would HAVE to be spent, as storms had “taken out” vital bridges, and using amphibious vehicles would cost even more, and move LESS materials, than repairing bridges. While the Republicans would call this “reckless mis-use, of funds”, it would seem that, as supplies rolled in, the media showed that people stood in line, for assignments. Soldiers might have helped distribute supplies, but it was citizens who would do much of the actual work. While it was calculated that the actual repairs would take until 2030 to be completed, in 2024, with the media showing progress, on the repairs, it would seem that Mr. Biden would “sail” to an easy victory. We could, ALL, understand why the people, of New Orleans, were annoyed by the efforts. This since Mr. Bush, JUNIOR had told people “If you want to re-build, pay for it, YOURSELVES!” IF anything slowed DOWN the time-table, it was the fact that the new construction would meet “Green” standards. Houses had to not only be re-built, but with insulation in floors, walls, and ceilings, as well as insulated glass, for windows. While only about 2/3 of the work was completed, by the time Mr. Biden left office, he would be credited with the fact that the “Green” build had taken a substantial load off of the power grid. While the Republicans continued to try calling the disasters “isolated incidents”, the public no more believed than they had in 2022, 2024, or 2026. This is why, in 2028, when AOC ran for top office, again, she focused on the continuing need to work on repairing the climate. Yes, pollution was down, with people driving electric vehicles, and grocery, and department, stores installing charging ports Still, there remained just so much to do. While it would take decades, to “make peace” with nature, atleast, as “repairs” proceeded, the violence, of storms, abated. I think that the reason why I was “singled out” for recognition, was the fact that it was MY plan, for hydro-electric power, which lead to the boldest new energy source. The reason was simple. The plans, which came before my own, all called for hydro-electric to be built on the Continental Shelf. A place where, in most cases, water only came, with power, at high tide. MY plan called for the hydro-electic plants to be built beyond the Continental SLOPE, and in deep water. While my proposal had been for two plants off each coast, Congress decided that four plants, per coast, would be better. I was just thankful that, instead of “dumping” gas/diesel buses, and so on, that my suggestion, for converting buses, and so on, to electric, proved much more successful. With far less pollution, giving depth to the atmosphere, the “band”, around the Earth, began to dissolve. While I would not live, to see the end result, it would seem that, by the time my time was at an end, that pollution was down by 75%, and the planet was recovering. Nuclear had been de-commissioned, years before, and Solar, Wind, and hydro-electric were the planets primary power. While I would receive no more than an entry, in the dictionary, as being a “visionary”, when Mr. Bidens statue was un-veilled, in the Hall of Presidents, his statue would proclaim him the “Green” president. While it would be official that HE would be buried, with “full honors”, my own state government made it known that they felt that I did not deserve such honors. Not for my part, in correcting Climate Change, nor for my actions, which lead to the new “Berlin Wall”, along America’s south border, being turned into an art project. I was also opposed over the decision to have our southern brothers and sisters petition for state-hood. The one thing the Republicans would be conflicted upon would be my suggestion that, due to terrible upkeep, my municipal government, that neighborhoods should come together, BUY, and “privatize”, local parks. This way, home-owners could do with the parks as they wanted. Like the Berlin Wall art project, I offered suggestions, for how the project might be carried out. Result, neighborhood associations began buying up property, and installing what their OWN families thought was needed. I can understand why the media labelled me as “two-faced”, over “Privatization”. This because I actively condemned the process, under most circumstances. When my “number was called”, the state had hoped that they could just put my body into a plain box, shove it into the dirt, and be done with me. Just another un-marked grave, from someone, whom the state felt, had done nothing, with their life. The state, however, was compelled to change its position, when not only were my official, and pre-paid, wishes known, but when my visitation would be RSVP’d by ambassadors from various new states, as well as from long-established, nations. The state was even annoyed when two groups went together, to buy my headstone. (The state wanted to declare this an insult, since I had spent my life on benefits. Now they were compelled to accept that I HAD achieved REAL results) Sure, it would take Earth another two generations, to reach the goals, set by scientists, and governments, but these changes bought humanity centuries, in which to find A NEW Homeworld. I was just happy to have played a part.
