The Climate Crisis & A New Green America:
Andy Caffrey’s climate conversation with Pres. Obama, also Pot Legalization, and how to fight Republican Psychopaths
- Andy believes the global cost of rapid conversion of all nations’ economies should be paid for by nation’s in proportion to how much they have already added greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. First and foremost by the United States’ Super Rich Top 1% of income earners. They got the most benefit, so they should pay the most for its negative impacts.
- Focus public funds on universal local economic security. Convert to sustainable economies ASAP via citizen-centered Bioregional Great Green Conversion Conferences. Full social support for displaced workers and disturbed communities.
