The embarrassing ignorance of recently proposed cabinet members in the United States combined with their breath-taking arrogance is creating a danger for the survival of all of modern civilization across the globe.

While scientists have warned for decades that industrial civilization must make the transition to a post-fossil fueled world, the new cabinet secretaries proposed by President-elect Trump seem neither to know or care about the pressing nature of global climate change — the greatest fundamental problem confronting human civilization.

Instead, following the lead of candidate Trump, the proposed cabinet members seem poised to unleash a new era of state permitted, state-subsidized and state-sponsored fossil fuel extractivism to revive this moribund energy strategy.
