The kids who survived the school shooting in Parkland, Florida created March For Our Lives and campaigned across the country for an end to gun violence. They’ve become rather effective at it. The leaders have now been awarded the 2018 International Children’s Peace Prize. It was awarded by Desmond Tutu who received the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-apartheid leadership. The youth traveled to Cape Town, South Africa to receive the prize. Congratulations for a well deserved award.
That huge climate change report the nasty guy’s administration released last week (done Friday of Thanksgiving week in hopes nobody was paying attention) says some pretty dire things. That prompted Melissa McEwan of Shakesville to write:
I have observed many times before that the Bush v. Gore might have been the deadliest Supreme Court decision of all time, and this is precisely why. Of course it isn't certain that we wouldn't have wasted 15 years (and even more) of response time had the decision not halted the recount in Florida and Gore had been allowed to win the election via the completed recount. But it is far more likely, inestimably more likely, that we would be on a completely different course than we are now had our president been the man who has dedicated his life, before and since, to climate change.
