Attention, Trump! Follow Reagan’s lead on the environment

Whether global warming is human-caused or not, it is real. It is already engulfing our lowlands and will continue to cause more and more human misery and death. The challenge is on.

If “American ingenuity” is real, we need to use it now. As for President Trump, we know he would miss Florida. And a wall won’t save our country from global warming.

Thanks to Don Gaede (March 16 “Take a Tip from President Reagan”) for inspiring this letter.
