I was aghast, shocked and very disappointed when I heard the music and truck-horn blasts. Are the organizer of the truck light parade not aware of the crisis of global warning?
After a year of catastrophic disasters B次元官网网址� more devastating than any experienced by humankind B次元官网网址� world-threatening examples of what is in store for our atmosphere and its consequences. What a terrible example to set. A parade of trucks going nowhere B次元官网网址� proceeding at minimum inefficient speed, therefore producing maximum carbon dioxide - into the lungs of the young children watching and the already overburdened atmosphere.
On the heels of COP 26. DonB次元官网网址檛 tell me itB次元官网网址檚 for the children, itB次元官网网址檚 for a group of well-intentioned people. Far better for them to have announced the discontinuance of the event for the future of the children!
What would Greta Thunberg say?
We, all of us, have to address this crisis - every day. There are less than nine years to achieve atmospheric temperature stabilization of 1.5 degrees. It is for your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
