President Trump and the Environment

Donald J. Trump was sworn in on 20th January 2017 and immediately set to work dismantling the environmental landmark policies of his predecessor, Barack Obama. Obama presidency will be fondly looked back on from the angle of environmental issues. He worked tirelessly to protect the America public and its air, sea, and land from the effects of pollution, coal addiction, land degradation and set America on the path of renewable energy. On the eve of his completion of tenure, Obama designated two areas, in Utah and Nevada as national monuments. The total area of the new Protected sites, the Bear Ears National Monument and the Gold Butte measure well over 1.6 Million acres (647497 ha). In his eight years in office, President Obama has put such seal on 29 national monuments to protect  them . On the environmental issues of our time, Trump is not hard to pin down.

The insurance industry coopts climate models and reports in assessing premiums.  You have to be under the proverbial rock to not have come across one climate-related issue or weather reports of flooding or drought. Whatever reports you have read relating to climate change; brace yourself more will be coming. We are not making as many changes as required to stem the ugly way nature is been treated. Many still treat climate crises as something that can wait. A secondary inconvenience. The business of humans first. The truth is as humans have moved at a breakneck p

Covid 19; Disease Spread and care for the Earth

It is yet another Earth day commemoration. But this time for a lot of communities around the world, the events are being marked sombrely.  Nearly all of earth's human citizens, over 7 billion of us are hunkered in waiting for the worst of this deadly invisible virus to pass. Lives have been lost, the global economy decimated as the disease now officially a pandemic continues to take no prisoners. At a time such as this, once the crisis is over we need to put aside our old ways of doing things. It has brought us immense benefits but also great harm. Our airs are polluted, watershed poisoned, some of the natural resources depleted to extinction. Unsustainable politico-economic system and population explosion being the major culprits. None is advocating communism but certainly, unregulated capitalism is equally as bad. Some  studies   have shown that deforestation pushes the spread of vectors. While epidemiologists are still working their way to understanding the novel vir
