Environmental myopia causes actual myopia! Children in regions with poor air quality --extended exposure to air pollutants, specifically smog and soot -- tended to have worse vision, while better air quality was associated with better vision.

Embarrassment to our country! Trump told the UN it was wrong on pretty much everything — including, especially climate change.“I've been right about everything. And I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.” www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Embarrassing! Trump ranted against climate change at the UN saying that the scientific consensus on global warming was created by “stupid people"...an extraordinary diatribe that ignored the human suffering exacted by the heat waves, wildfires and deadly floods www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Failure! Governments say they will cut their own climate-warming pollution, yet plan to continue producing the fossil fuels that are driving that pollution far beyond their climate targets. The US is “the starkest case of a country recommitting to fossil fuels.” insideclimatenews.org/news/2209202...
