The Deal Is Done--The Beginning of The End To The Fossil Fuel Era

++The Paris agreement is approved. 

++With the Iranian Nuclear Deal and The Global Climate Change agreement ,John Kerry deserves our admiration. Persistent,persevering.and finally successful. All the State Department personnel  who worked on this for the past few years produced a stunning agreement.

++Let's not forget Bill McKibben of 350.org who held global demonstrations to raise the consciousness of the world community to the impending threat to Planet Earth posed by climate change.

++Who can forget Pope Francis' encyclical on Protecting Our Home. 

++And, of course, President Barack Obama who sealed his legacy with this deal. It was his leadership that brought the largest emitters on board. Don't save he hasn't done enough.

++The New Economy Begins--About time. We are entering a new world. 

++Now we will continue to hear from climate deniers. But even they could not persuade Saudi Arabia to sabotage this deal. The Congressional delegations could not attend because they couldn't approve a budget.

++Will there be reaction in the United States to this agreement? Of course, but it doesn't need congressional approval.

++The Climate Change Investment Group hailed the agreement because they have $15-17 trillion to invest in renewal energy. That send a huge signal to the market and other countries.

++Congratulations Planet Earth!
