The Alliance ReLiance

Image Taken - June 3rd, 2017.

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that June 1st is a historic day, not only is it the day of my son's birthday, it is also the day when President Trump announced that he is removing the United States of America from the Paris Accord - The Paris Agreement is when 196 nations signed an agreement with regards to climate change. Almost the whole world agreed on a path forward. The framework for this agreement is within the United Nations Convention for Climate Change. It is interested in Green House gas emissions, mitigation, adaptation, and finance that will start in the year 2020. The key elements of the agreement include:

*Emission Reduction
*Global Transparency
*Adaptation - To provide support to developing
  countries
*Loss and Damage - Providing support for loos and
  damage
*Role of Cities - Recognize the role of Non - Party
  stake Holders, member of the private sector are
  also invited to join.

     So on this day I decided to tweet the following message. Even though I was in a hurry, the urge and hope to not have the US withdraw from this agreement was poking me. The message is as follows: 

     At 3, O' Clock in the afternoon of June 1st 2017, President Donald Trump announced that he will be pulling the United States of America out of this agreement. I was upset and it took a while to digest the news. However, after taking the time to digest and listen to the reasoning, there is one point that did resonate; where President Donald Trump and his administration are still interested in Climate Change and the Environment. They will find other solutions to help America stay on track concerning environmental goals. 

     Reflection
I was taking the time to think about my own reaction, I remembered the idea and concept related to the word "change", where human beings find it difficult to adapt to change. I was upset because I care about our world, our environment, and the only planet that we have. It was troubling and upsetting to hear. We also learned of world reaction as well. When I heard that America will still continue to care about our land, I felt re-assured. This was like the transitional object, that I needed to help and restore hope once more. I love our land America, and I also love the worlds land as well.

     Whilst I do agree that America must become more and more united at home to build a strong leadership, unity, and trust within a nation; I do feel that the world has suffered a loss, because America The Worlds Leader will no longer be a part of world decision making, and discussion with regards to the agreements. This withdrawal can also serve as a "wake - up" call for all other nations to stop a "reliance alliance" with the United States Of America. Leaders must be accountable for their actions as well. The new policies that America will derive have to still be seen. 
​

​     I do agree that some of the language / wording of this agreement have to be changed. For example: Why is an agreement on climate change called "The Paris Agreement"? The very title of the agreement is called into question. If 196 nations (now there are 195) are committed to this agreement, why is only the capitol of France, Paris the title on this agreement? The very title is non - inclusive. Also we have to think that it has only been about a year since America entered this agreement. So lets think what was America doing before they entered? 

     A withdrawal will probably benefit America's economy, but we also have to think, how will America continue to support developing countries that are suffering from droughts, too much heat etc? As a world leader it remains upon our moral consciousness to continue to support countries who are in need. Whilst the Paris agreement may be more political than a climate agreement, we as the nation of America must do our part to conserve and to protect. 

     The Earth or Mother Nature is not a destroyer, it is powerful human beings who are using their powers to destroy and destruct. Our Earth is a wondrous planet that is naturally created to restore and replenish itself.
