=====Climate Change-Overpopulation===== | |||

And just as the physical manifestations of climate change (more extreme storms; rising temperatures; loss of snow and ice; etc.) are occurring sooner than was initially predicted by climate scientists, it appears that the changeover from democracy to authoritarian government has also occurred here in the USA sooner than anyone predicted. I myself doubt that many Trump voters specifically want an end to democracy, but I do imagine that most of them want a stronger government that would take more forceful action to make the problem of immigration or homelessness go away. But even a King Trump cannot reverse the effects of continued population growth, anymore than King Canute can order the tide to go out. | |||
