| Publisher Description: Under President Barack Obama, the United States pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26-28% from 2005 levels by 2025. President Donald Trump, on the contrary, think that global warming is not that great problem: Obama's Clean Power Plan and the other regulations to protect the environment, are the greatest problem, because incrementing coal and petroleum extraction is his priority. Scott Pruitt, Trump's advisor and the present head of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), publicly denies that CO2 is a primary contributor to global warming -this way the head of EPA negates EPA policy and 'overwhelmingly clear' evidence on climate change. Is this just 'politics'? Or should we call it blindness? the Earth is the only world we have, and the poems of this collection, filled with empathy and sensitivity, thoroughly show our deep concern for the future both of our planet and of humankind - a future that the latest executive orders coming from the White House make even less comforting.. |
