media, trump, climate change

I'm getting so tired of the media's unwillingness to hold Donald Trump's feet to the fire on the issue of climate change. He has this cockamamie theory-- unique to him, I think-- that it's a hoax concocted by the Chinese to lower the productivity of our economy. Of course, he doesn't have a shred of evidence for this, because . . . there isn't any!

But it's typical of the way the media is dealing, or should I say NOT dealing, with the most important issue facing this planet and our species. It's barely being mentioned. One shouldn't be surprised. This is the way the media has been dealing with it going all the way back to the Bush-Gore race in 2000, when it first surfaced. If it's mentioned at all, it's just one item in a laundry list of secondary issues.

the main thing

The main thing is to get people on a daily basis, as part of their everyday lives, to think of themselves as people riding on this little planet, circling in space. In other words, to create a planetary consciousness. What are good ways to help bring that about?
