They want to build a baseball stadium. In Las Vegas. To play baseball. In the summer. When the temperature is regularly in the triple digits. A very large stadium. That will need to be air conditioned. For a team that already has a stadium. In Oakland California. Which is willing to build them a new stadium. That doesn’t need air conditioning.
While our overheated planet burns. And floods. And suffers from drought. And has record numbers of tornadoes. Of unprecedented size. And hurricanes.
It is said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Do we do the same? While our world burns. As we allow them to build an air conditioned baseball stadium. In Las Vegas. To play baseball. In the summer. When the temperature is regularly in the triple digits.
Who can hold them accountable? Who can stop them? Who will say no? To building an air conditioned baseball stadium. In Las Vegas. To play baseball. In the summer. When the temperature is in the triple digits. While our world burns.
The President? Congress? State Governments? The people?
If we cannot muster the ability to say no to this, how can muster the ability to take any action to fight climate change? And the corporations and organizations that ignore it. To protect and increase their profits. From their actions. Like building an air conditioned baseball stadium. In Las Vegas. To play baseball. In the summer. When the temperature is regularly in the triple digits. While our world burns. And dies.
