#fossilfuel production and #GreenConsumption is only possible with #DisposablePeoples and #DegradedSpaces because of a #genocidal approach to #nativelandscapes: “So far it’s been disappointing. If the #IRA continues to bring sweatshops and a continued race to the bottom it will be a tragedy,” Fain said.

Poor planning for coming #Climate impacts! The result is a concrete sprawl of buildings, roads and other infrastructure.
“China’s rapid urbanization has led to a proliferation of #impermeable surfaces,” he says. “Green spaces such as #parks and gardens play a vital role in water retention. Their dwindling presence due to #urbanization diminishes their capacity to effectively manage excessive rainfall.”
