Plant, darling, plant!

During his inauguration speech, Donald Trump aroused the enthusiasm of the Capitol public by launching a shock sentence promising an all -out resumption of oil extractions: ” Drill, Baby, Drill! (Fore, darling, Fore!).

According to the International Energy Agency, to hope to limit planetary warming in the long term to + 1.5 ° C*, no oil prospecting project in the world should no longer be launched. The sinister and obscene sentence therefore frozen my blood, as the announcement of a planned war rape.

This war that Trump promises to the earth, by withdrawing his country from the Paris Agreement and uninhibiting carbon impulses. Why do he devil himself to take the plane for a few days of sun at the other end of the world if we know the Americans left in an orgy of black gold?

This is where Resist takes on its full meaning. Continue to trace your route while keeping the course on its values. Redouble a determination to oppose the destruction projects of the living near you. Cultivate what is fair and fertile.

This sad evening of January 20, I received an unexpected consolation when I learned that this sentence was displayed in my daughter’s (public) college: “If I was told that the end of the world is for tomorrow, I will plant anyway A apple. ” Sentence attributed to Luther, who says so many things about Christian hope. So we have an answer to oppose Trump: “Plant, darling, plant!”

* Objective of the Paris Agreement, this average increase in terrestrial temperature was reached, for the first time and punctually, in 2024.
