Can we solve the climate crisis without confronting global inequities?
A recent study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA found that white residents in the USA produce more climate pollution than black or hispanic residents, but black and hispanic people are exposed to more air pollution.
And that is just the USA! Think about the global inequities in the "haves" and the "have nots".
And how are we going to lift people out of poverty without making the climate crisis even worse?
If you are a resident in a wealthy country, is it your responsibility to address both problems at once? And what would that look like in terms of national and international policy?

Climate Change
Climate Change is a big issue right now. We need to do something about it before it becomes too big of an issue for us to change. Global Warming and rising sea levels are just a few things that show that climate change is in fact real. We only have one earth, one home meaning we only have once chance to save it before it is too late.
