I was profoundly disappointed and disturbed to read President Donald Trump’s denial of the perils of climate change and his administration’s unwillingness to support measures that serve to prevent or minimize the inevitable environmental disaster if we don’t (Oct. 24, “Trump Decries Climate Accord in Pittsburgh”).
It seems the president is more interested in securing the economic benefits of the fossil fuel industry than he is in ensuring the long-term vitality of the planet, not only for American citizens, but also for all the nations and people on Earth.
And how can the members of the GOP, who support him so single-mindedly, be indifferent to the implications of his self-appointed style of leadership? Why do they continually fall into line for what seems to be purely political reasons?
It may be that our salvation may only come if truth and the common good motivate our nation’s leadership. Heaven help the future for our children and generations to come if that doesn’t happen.

Note from KBJ: We love President Trump, William. We're going to vote for him again! By the way, climatism is a religion. I can see why you're attracted to it.
