What "real" Democrats could publicize at DU:
Two articles from the Top Five of CNN, or ABC, NBC, BBC, CBS, NPR, The Washington Post (Woodward Bernstein) etc. instead of Faux News host actually said "blah, blah, blah," which is - in fact - an obvious Faux News commercial:
That said, here's a combined version of two news articles being covered by CNN, about Climate Change, which will continue to be an increasingly undeniable phenomenon that even the most loyal Republicans will be unable to deny. On the other hand, fool's like King of the Jews, Trump continue to deny climate-change, proving that he cares more about corporate kick-backs than he does about his own descendants and voting constituents, who will personally suffer from the devastation humans are inflicting on our entire planet.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro yesterday morning rejected $20 million in international relief to combat the wildfires eating away at the Amazon rainforest. Before the day was through, the Brazilian government walked back the rejection and now says it will accept the money. But there are still concerns about how the government will be able to administer the aid. Bolsonaro has made his apparent apathy about the situation quite clear, engaging in a protracted spat with French President and G7 leader Emmanuel Macron over proposed international solutions to the crisis. Meanwhile, global concern over the Amazon has moved some to question why more isn't being done about the thousands of apparent fires burning in central and sub-Saharan Africa. The answer is complicated, but people there say many African fires are controlled agricultural burns, not uncontrolled deforestation, like in the Amazon.
Smoke and environmental damage from these fires - and many others - will expedite Climate Change to epic proportions. This is an international disaster, which will not only have a profound impact on ALL human descendants but also other species.
Speaking of disaster relief, Tropical Storm Dorian is expected to make landfall today in Puerto Rico, bringing with it dangerous flash floods. The island is still recovering from 2017's Hurricane Maria, so any impact could have devastating effects on an already-depleted infrastructure. Dorian is supposed to become a Category 1 hurricane by Friday evening as it tracks east of the Bahamas. That means Florida could see a hurricane over Labor Day weekend...
Trump's repeated, previous solution: Drop a nuclear bomb into the hurricane! As anyone with half of a brain realizes very little is more dangerous than turning a hurricane into a nuclear threat, which would spread dangerous radiation over large sections of the planet.
