Airing Tonight: 🌍 "Paris to Pittsburgh" 🌎

Bloomberg's Environmental Documentary, "Paris to Pittsburgh" is a crucial message in response to Trump's ill timed decision to pull the U.S.A. out of the Paris Agreement and his obdurate insistence that Climate Change is a hoax. It brings attention to the facts of Climate Change that are impacting the world now, and will continue to get worse for future generations if it is not collectively acted upon.

This documentary is airing just in time for the last day of COP24 in Katowice, Poland, (formally the 24th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). "The conference aims to create practical rules for nations to implement the Paris Agreement — and to keep global warming “well under” 2 degrees Celsius this century, according to the U.N. conference website."



“The American government may have pulled out of the Paris Agreement, but the American people are committed to its goals and there is nothing Washington can do to stop us.” ~Michael R. Bloomberg, United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action

Starting on December 13, the film will be available for free on digital platforms on National Geographic’s website (http://NatGeoTV.com), mobile app (Nat Geo TV App), Video On Demand and connected devices (such as Roku, AppleTV). Also starting December 13, the film will be available for one week on National Geographic’s YouTube channel.

Election Day 2018 made HER-STORY! πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸšΊπŸ™ŒπŸΌ



I have not written here in almost a year for a lack of inspiration, disenchantment, political disgust, etc, etc... I could go on with all of the reasons, but all the reasons and frustrations will soon enough be an embarrassing part of HiStory because of yesterday, which was a crucial day! YESterday was an epic day! It was Midterm Election Day, and millions of Americans who have been exhausted by the last 2 years from disappointment and downright disgust from Trump's laughing stock / authoritarian regime, came out to Vote for change. And change is what was delivered and voted for!

"117 women elected! 96 women have been elected to the U.S. House, 12 women to the U.S. Senate and 9 women will serve as governor. The number of women in power has grown steadily, but this year's election, with more than 270 women running for Congress and governor, shattered records.

How many were there before? Prior to this year's election, there were 107 women in Congress – 84 in the House, out of 435 members, and 23 in the Senate, out of 100. Six women were serving as governors, out of 50.

Which party has more women? The majority of women running were Democrats, but both parties aimed to set a new high. 100 Democratic women elected, 17 Republican women elected." (via LATimes.com)

In addition to the historical and the much needed feminine wave that swept the election, Republicans have fortunately lost the majority in the House of Representatives. Even though they still have the majority in the Senate, checks and balances will be restored with an even fight that will significantly weaken Trump's unchecked abuse of power. And with what this country has had to endure with the corrupt and power hungry clown posing in the Oval Office, this is only the beginning of his inevitable downfall. It isn't soon enough, but the process will be enjoyable to witness. Hope has returned and thankfully order will eventually be rightfully restored in the United States!!
