Troubled Nation

Our use of fossil fuels has allowed us to plunder Earth's natural resources and abuse the rest of the life on the planet. For a while they have allowed us to pretend that we make the rules. But Mother Nature has always made the rules and she has, because of our neglect, began laying the foundation for a brand-new future, a future that will not be to our liking. Despite the growth of renewable energy, fossil fuels (CO2) still account for 80 percent of the world's energy usage. People are finally learning that to leave a healthy stable world for future generations we need act now for solutions. Unfortunately, those who deny that climate change doesn't even exist are now back in power and we will lose four years or possibly more in being able to arrive at a solution, four years we don't have. We are experiencing the greatest tragic historical event humanity has ever experienced and many people do not even recognize it.
