Colleagues Work Comment #2

I am commenting on my colleagues post titled, "Is it End of the World as We Know It?" from the blog "America: Land of the Utterly Confused." I agree with what my colleague is saying that environmental safety and well-being is a very important thing, but personally, I do not think it should be the main priority at this point in time. Now don't get me wrong, I am not undermining the importance of taking care of our environment. Pollution is a problem, we see its effects every day and the way it affects our health and wildlife. However, I do not think President Trump is simply out to destroy the world as so many people seem to put it. I think President Trump has his priorities straight. I too do not believe in the idea of global warming, but I do think its extremely important to take care of the environment. There's just a few problems, when we have North Korea threatening to blow us to pieces, ISIS beheading countless innocent people, and a drug epidemic taking the lives of nearly 40,000 people each year, the environment can wait for a little bit. We are not going to defeat ISIS by spending all of our money to put up solar panels or being involved in the Paris Climate Agreement. With everything that is going on these days, climate change will not be the thing that leads to the end of the world as we know it.
