TRUMP: About his energy policy

Trump supports the use of fossil fuels to supply our energy needs. Even though the connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change has been proven, beyond any reasonable doubt, and the continued use of those fuels will cause lasting damage to the whole planet.

The evidence of the negative effects of fossil fuels is so great that it is impossible to ignore. The only conceivable reason why those fuels are being used is because of private financial gain. Trump and his political allies and campaign contributors are all making money by supporting the use of dirty fuels.

This is not just a matter of policy — millions of people around the world today are already being hurt by global warming. Its effects can be seen in floods, drought, fires, temperature extremes (on land and in the sea), more frequent and severe hurricanes, tornados and hailstorms, shoreline erosion, natural habitat destruction, loss of agricultural potential and in the lowering of our own living standards. These events are all being driven by climate change.

This planet is our home.

We can’t let the politicians ruin it.

On behalf of ourselves and for all of our future generations — we must demand a return to clean air and to the use of renewable energy sources.
