This week, we interviewed climate writers Mary Annaïse Heglar and Amy Westervelt, who write Real Hot Take, a newsletter about intersectional climate politics.
I really liked this takeaway "The important thing is to start and the next most important thing is not to stop. Don’t worry about whether or not you’re doing enough, and focus instead on what you can do next."
and also this "a small handful of people were empowered to make decisions that condemn the entire human race to catastrophe" - so on point. And the wording, the fact that people were empowered, touches on the fact that this is a system problem as well as a power problem.
Important discussion of intersectionality as it relates to who feels the impact first and which communities receive investment. I became a geospatial analyst to do a better job at asking more important questions. Reach out if you want me to send along a great paper I spoke about in Clubhouse, Flood Risk Behaviors of United States Riverine Metropolitan Areas Are Driven by Local Hydrology and Shaped by Race.
