A warning blog about Trump after my holiday in Venice. This relates to my absorbing+warning novel Deprivations.

1. Deprivation
s
After 100 days Trump Still attacks media... and
Venice.

2. "We will build the wall as sure as you
are standing there tonight. We need the
wall"

3. Venice
Well, while I've just come back from a
week in Venice (late Friday night),
spending ages queuing for the ePassport
system that allegedly makes thing simpler
(but actually not really) Trump's been
shouting about the USA/Mexico wall he
wants.
Don't get me wrong. Venice was
beautiful. Certainly better looking than
Trump.

4. Time

5. Time
OK, he does feature on covers of Time
magazine more often than Venice (or
me and my Deprivations novel for
that matter!) but there is a connection.
Venice IS concerned about the effects
of "global warming".

7. Venice
Here's quote from Peter Walker of The
Independent newspaper:
 Venice will be underwater within a century if the
acceleration in global warming is not quelled and
flood defences installed, a new climate change report
has warned.
 The ancient and iconic city will be flooded because
the Mediterranean Sea is forecast to rise by up to
140cm before 2100, according to the research.

I know Trump won't care because
he'll be dead by that time.
But his (grand)children won't be.

My novel is a warning of where we could be
going. As Trump wants America to be
"great again" (it always was and still is) his
country is going down the route of the giant
City in my novel. Divorced from Outside
but...
Global warming is already making its
footprints.
Yes I agree with him that other countries
need to do more.

11. But Trump was wrong when he
said,
among other things, that climate change
was a “hoax,” tweeting in November that
“the concept of global warming was
created by and for the Chinese in order to
make US manufacturing non-competitive.”

12. The evidence of global climate
change is getting more and more
obvious.
Yes other countries need to do more (Korea is one
- you put your health at risk if you go there!).
But if America does more in its country it'll help the
world. Let the others learn and catch up.
You tidy your own garden your neighbours will see
and learn. They'll want their garden to be as nice
as yours.
It'll take time but our time is running out...
