Geoengineering is a Dangerous Distraction!

Trying to address climate change without phasing out fossil fuels is like plugging one leak while the boat is flooding from every direction — you can’t win if the source of the damage stays untouched.

Western Alaska has been hit by hurricane-force winds, ravaging storm surges and floodwaters that swept homes away and displaced communities. Deeply inequitable systems amplify the impacts of the destruction on marginalized communities.

“What if AI fails? ...or let’s say when AI fails, and the data centers, and those GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) that was the state-of-the-art is now old technology. They moved on to something else. Those power plants will still be in our communities.”

The EPA this week proposed that the roughly 8,000 power plants, oil refineries, mills, and industrial facilities that for the past 15 years reported their greenhouse gas emissions …would no longer have to do so, calling the requirement “burdensome.” 🤯

At the same time, frontline leaders, farmers, and activists from Latinx communities are at the forefront of building a more sustainable, just, and resilient future.

The climate crisis disproportionately affects communities of color, including many Latinx neighborhoods that face higher risks from extreme heat, flooding, pollution, and state violence.

Public money should build a safer, fairer, and more sustainable future – not fuel floods, fires, and heatwaves; build resilience, not deepen disasters; and bring justice to those least responsible for the climate crisis.

Lelo was targeted because of his history as a farmworker organizer. He was a cofounder of Washington’s new union, Familias Unidas por la Justicia, and helped organize many of the campaigns by Community to Community, an advocate for agricultural workers.
