Protecting Black women starts with believing their stories. Supporting them further means uplifting their achievements and shielding them from harmful dialogues. We owe it to Megan Thee Stallion, Cassie, and every Black woman in this world. ❤️ #ProtectBlackWomen #HipHopCaucus #MeganTheeStallion #Cassie

The House Natural Resource Committee’s climate change hearing turned into a heated conversation about race

On Wednesday, while the remainder of the country was hectic scrolling through Pelosi State of the Union golf clap memes, 2 significant panels — the House Natural Resources Committee and a different subcommittee on energy and commerce — fulfilled to talk about the effect of international warming on the country as a whole.

This marks the very first time the Natural Resources Committee has actually held a hearing on climate change in a decade, and freshly empowered House Democrats have a lot more hearings on climate prepared throughout the month.

.@RepRaulGrijalva starts @NRDems historical hearing: “Climate change is matter of social justice. Neighborhoods of color and people are most affected by climate change, and will continue to have a hard time if we do not #ActOnClimate.” pic.twitter.com/VQMPYn0yTW

— LCV (@LCVoters) February 6, 2019

The hearing began on a controversial foot, with speakers calling into concern whatever from climate science, to hardship, to whether the timing of the hearings was in some way rude to Black History Month.

“I know you have made February as climate change month, I appreciate the fact that that you picked the shortest month of the year to to do that,” stated Republican politician Rob Bishop, previous chair of the Natural Resources Committee, to the present chair Raul Grijalva. “It also happens to be of course Black History Month, which I wish we could deal with other things.”

Bishop, who is white, went on argue that it would be more within the committee’s province to concentrate on the conservation of websites traditionally appropriate to the African-American neighborhood — such as traditionally black colleges or Central High School, where teenagers later on referred to as the “Little Rock Nine” required Arkansas to impose federal desegregation laws — than for the panel to pontificate on climate change.

Pointing the group of 7 press reporters in the corner of the hearing space, including me, Bishop asks @RepRaulGrijalva:

“Are these hearings for that group sitting over there at that table so they can compose charming stories?”

— Miranda Green (@mirandacgreen) February 6, 2019

Throughout the hearing, speakers both highlighted and clashed over climate and energy as a racial and social justice problems.

Reverend Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, a not-for-profit company that produces a podcast integrating hip hop music and climate action, called climate change “a civil and human rights issue,” and the “lunch counter moment for the 21st century.”

“I prompt every member of this committee, if you have not yet, to check out locations and individuals who have actually gone through climate catastrophes, and to check out neighborhoods, tasks, and companies that are executing tidy energy & climate options.”-@RevYearwood @HipHopCaucus #ActOnClimate pic.twitter.com/zqRjJj5aL8

Elizabeth Yeampierre, representing the Brooklyn community-based company UPROSE and the across the country Climate Justice Alliance stated that, “Our communities are the first and most impacted by the storms, fires, floods and droughts, and are disproportionately burdened by the pollution, poverty and systemic violence associated with the multinational corporations driving these ecological crises.” While she required a shift far from nonrenewable fuel sources, she acknowledged that it would not be “smooth” which efforts would require to be made so no neighborhoods are left.

Not everybody settled on how to boost low-income households and areas of color. Derrick Hollie, president of Grabbing America, a group that promotes for budget friendly energy for neighborhoods of color, argued that African-American neighborhoods require less expensive sources of energy, as black homeowners tend to invest a bigger percentage of their budget plans on cooling and heating expenses, partly due to lower-quality real estate building and insulation.

“The African-American community, we don’t have the luxury to pay more for green technologies, we need access to affordable energy to help heat our homes, power our stoves, and get back and forth to work,” stated Hollie, who is black.

Rather of concentrating on a shift to renewable resource, Hollie argued for higher financial investment in gas, which he stated was more budget friendly. “For many Americans, this allows them not to have to choose between keeping the lights on and feeding their families,” he stated.

Reverend Yearwood and Agent Joe Neguse of Colorado — both of whom are black — pressed back on Hollie, indicating research study into how black neighborhoods have actually disproportionately borne the health concerns of gas and other nonrenewable fuel sources.

“For me as a minister, having buried a young girl because of asthma, that mother no longer cares about how much that utility bill would have cost.” stated Yearwood. “We can definitely fight poverty and pollution at the same time.”

A number of other speakers highlighted the methods which Americans are currently managing the results of climate change on health and security.

“North Carolinians understand about [climate change] the difficult method. We have actually weathered 2 so-called 500 year floods within 2 years,” Guv Roy Cooper of North Carolina informed the committee. “For survivors of these storms, the true costs are incalculable.”

Guv Cooper (a Democrat) and Guv Charlie Baker of Massachusetts (a Republican politician) then collaborated to protect climate science and knock efforts to open the Atlantic to overseas drilling.

“There is frustrating clinical agreement that holds true” (that climate change is genuine, @NC_Governor states “What he stated,” @MassGovernor states

— Zahra Hirji (@Zhirji28) February 6, 2019

When asked about overseas drilling…@NC_Governor stated: “Not on our coasts”@MassGovernor stated:” Pretty consentaneous assistance for not drilling off the coast of Massachusetts, also” + states MA is interested rather in deepwater wind

— Zahra Hirji (@Zhirji28) February 6, 2019

Republicans welcomed questionable climatologist Judith Curry, whose work has actually been utilized by climate doubters as an argument versus doing something about it, to talk to the committee. She has actually voiced doubts over just how much of an effect human activity has on the climate, and concerns whether climate designs predicting the results of a warming world are trustworthy. (As a group, climate researchers extremely concur that climate change is a genuine danger and a outcome of human activity)

Judith Curry responds no to all of @RepMcClintock‘s concerns on whether we are seeing the most severe droughts/rainfall/weather occasions in documented history

— Tiffany Stecker (@TiffanyStecker) February 6, 2019

Curry was signed up with on the panel by her previous coworker Kim Cobb, a climate researcher and teacher at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Curry retired in 2017). Unlike Curry, Cobb offered vehement testament throughout the hearing’s 2nd panel on the devastating repercussions of climate change, consisting of extended dry spells, wildfires, and storms.

Although the financial expenses of those occasions “can be measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars,” Cobb stated,“their real toll, the vast human suffering left in their wake, is immeasurable.”

The Natural Resources Committee will reunite Thursday afternoon for more livestreamed argument on climate change and ocean health.
