                		  <div class="articleBody"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rains are beginning to subside, but the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey continues to claim lives. The death toll has risen to 44 — up from just five on Tuesday — and first responders continue to rescue people trapped by floodwaters. The Texas department of public safety reported yesterday that 32,000 people have been forced into shelters, while nearly 50,000 homes have sustained moderate to severe flood damage. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make no mistake, </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/aug/28/climate-change-hurricane-harvey-more-deadly"><span style="font-weight: 400;">climate change made this storm worse</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Harvey is a vivid and horrifying reminder of the </span><a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/hurricane-harvey-climate-change-kills/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">costs of climate denial and inaction</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> — but it’s also a testament to the ways in which climate change and structural inequality intersect.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-61168 size-full" src="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line.jpg" alt="People with their personal boat help rescue residents from flooded neighborhoods near Katy, Texas." width="800" height="534" srcset="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line.jpg 800w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line-300x200.jpg 300w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line-768x513.jpg 768w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line-150x100.jpg 150w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line-200x133.jpg 200w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line-250x166.jpg 250w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0LV_Web_size_with_credit_line-700x467.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Texas has </span><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/22/us/west-texas-fertilizer-plant-explosion-investigation/index.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">suffered from chemical disasters before</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, so a category four hurricane barrelling down on Houston’s thousands of petrochemical facilities would inevitably lead to dangerous spills. Due to poor zoning laws, many of Houston’s petrochemical facilities are near schools, nursing homes, and residential communities. And these fenceline communities are primarily made up of </span><a href="http://comingcleaninc.org/whats-new/whos-in-danger-report"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Black and Latinx families living at or below the poverty line</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> — those with the fewest resources to evacuate. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, refineries and processing plants owned by companies Shell, Exxon, Valero, and Chevron are leaking toxic substances into the floodwaters, polluting the air, water, and soil in nearby communities. Most dramatically, an Arkema plant northeast of Houston had </span><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/31/chemical-fire-expected-flooded-arkema-plant-texas-hurricane/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">two explosive releases</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> after cooling systems failed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As of Thursday, </span><a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/144635/harvey-morphed-multi-pronged-environmental-disaster"><span style="font-weight: 400;">74 incidents of excess air pollution</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have been reported, and public health officials have warned those who come in contact with the floodwaters of the risk of cholera and typhoid.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-61166 size-full" src="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line.jpg" alt="Cost Guard inspectors walk through spilled oil at a Kinder Morgan Liquid Terminal in Houston, Texas during Hurricane Harvey." width="800" height="533" srcset="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line.jpg 800w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line-300x200.jpg 300w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line-768x512.jpg 768w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line-150x100.jpg 150w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line-200x133.jpg 200w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line-250x166.jpg 250w, http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GP0STR0JT_Web_size_with_credit_line-700x466.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Industrial pollution is just one of the ways Harvey has exposed the structural racism and inequality that makes climate change so dangerous for marginalized communities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Houston, </span><a href="http://www.theroot.com/race-and-class-are-the-biggest-issues-around-hurricane-1798536183"><span style="font-weight: 400;">45 percent of households earning $10,000 or less are Black</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, while 80 percent of those earning $200,000 or more are white. More than one-quarter of Black and Latinx residents live below the poverty line. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That means that people of color in Houston had limited means to evacuate, lived in areas more prone to flooding and petrochemical pollution, and have limited access to resources like backup housing or flood insurance. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The politics of climate denial don’t just mean our planet will get warmer — it means communities of color will increasingly pay the price with their health and safety if we don’t reverse course soon.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actions we take now as a country must take climate justice into account, both to avoid the next Harvey and help those who will be dealing with its impacts for years to come. That can only come through a just transition away from fossil fuels towards clean energy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Climate Justice Alliance Executive Director Angela Adrar </span><a href="http://tejasbarrios.org/a-just-harvey-recovery-fund/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The struggle ahead in Texas, the Gulf, and across the nation is beyond lowering greenhouse emissions. It is a fight for justice, for dignity, for a future for our children that won’t be washed away in the next storm.”</span></p>
