This Means War

We Americans rarely pull together; we are a diverse and independent
sort. The only time we seem to pull together is when we are faced by
an enemy that threatens our survival. Then, finally, we go to war to
defeat the threat.

I am calling on all of us to join the war on the worst threat we and
our children will ever face; we need to go to war against climate
change.

We need to see every tree, wind turbine, solar array as soldiers
fighting this scourge. We need to see every coal and gas power plant
as a traitor aiding an enemy that will bring destruction to our
beautiful planet.

We need to tell the fossil fuel companies to pack their bags and
leave; they are using our dependence on their polluting fuels to stall
our war plans, to stay stuck in an unsustainable status quo, a status
quo that will deny all living things (including us) a sustainable
future.
