Most of the time climate deniers like to think their economy is under fire by those seeking to maintain Earth's troposphere in a livable capacity. I think Bulgaria is a prime example of a country struggling with other issues, yet maintaining their commitment to protecting and reversing the deadly trend of the climate crisis.

Every one of the countries we have examined so far have considerable carbon sinks. Australia is trying to understand if there is anything that can be done to return The Great Barrier Reef. Austria's land is 50 percent forest and in my opinion is actually a carbon sink in the global picture. Belgium is growing more forest every year to increase it's land ability to absorb CO2 and then there is Bulgaria trying to understand the mass exodus of their young people, being successful in energy production and maintaining close monitoring of greenhouse gases.

They are all countires to admire. They have their own problems, but, never take their eye off the ball of the climate crisis.

One thing Americans never stop to realize is the pride other countries have in their climate programs. When events occur, like the loss of coral reefs globally, the people trying their darnest to end this danger really are hurt by the failure to do so. The USA has lost that aspect to their national identity.

The climate crisis is real. The USA is plagued by not just major tornadoes, but, tornado outbreaks. Tornado outbreaks are the norm and a generation of young Americans do not know any different now. To them that is the baseline to tornadoes when in fact their grandparents have a very differnt orientation. The same is true of hurricanes. There are more incredibly powerful storms across the USA today than ever before in history. I am not just talking about an incredibly powerful storm once in a decade or once in a century, there are storms of this nature all the time now.

A generation of Americans have no real reference point to a safe climate. There are either tornadoes, hurricanes or severe snow events in their lives. There are few days where the air is calm without rain or wind or severe temperatures. That is not good. It is not good for the USA or the global community.

If Australia, Austria, Belgium and Bulgaria can do their part with pride and serious concern; then the USA can as well if it returns to dedication to the natural world and it's importance to living on and with Earth.
