"Everyone except the far right wing of the Republican Party realizes that oil, gas and coal burning are the main activities that have sent the climate into bigger floods, droughts, hurricanes, and El Ninos"

About this Quote

This quote by Donella Meadows is referring to the truth that most of individuals, with the exception of the far right wing of the Republican Party, understand that shedding fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal are the primary factors to climate modification. This is confirmed by the enhancing variety of floodings, droughts, storms, as well as El Ninos that have actually been happening in recent times. The burning of these nonrenewable fuel sources releases huge quantities of co2 and also various other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which catches heat and causes the Earth's temperature level to climb. This in turn brings about much more extreme weather condition events, such as floodings, droughts, storms, and El Ninos. Meadows is recommending that the much extreme right of the Republican Party is not taking the problem of climate modification seriously, and is not taking the necessary steps to decrease discharges and mitigate the results of environment change.
