'Climate change is real': Mayor Turner, advocacy groups talk city's climate plan on 1-year anniversary

‘Climate change is real’: Mayor Turner, advocacy groups talk city’s climate plan on 1-year anniversary

HOUSTON – In recent years, the city Houston has garnered the unofficial title of disaster capital of the United States.
“Four months into office in 2016, the Tax Day flood, 2017 hurricane Harvey, 2019 Tropical Storm Imelda, February 2021 the winter storm,” Mayor Sylvester Turner said Monday in an interview with KPRC 2.
In many ways, Turner’s tenure has been defined by the series of natural disasters, all climate change-related, he said.
“The storms are coming with greater frequency, greater intensity and costing all of us a lot more. Climate change is real,” Turner said.

HOUSTON – Living in Houston, air quality is a concern for nearly everyone, but research shows some communities are hit harder by the dangers of persistent pollution.
“Poor Black and brown communities are experiencing more of the burdens of environmental injustice, which we call environmental racism as well,” said Zoe Middleton with Texas Housers, a non-profit focused on solving housing and community development issues.
The group mapped industrial hazardous waste sites and sources of air pollution and found they were concentrated in low-income, historically Black, and Hispanic communities.

Coastal News Today | TX - $1.4B Shortfall Threatens Houston Area Flood Control Projects

The projects in need of the most funding are in some of the area’s poorest neighborhoods that have repeatedly flooded in recent decades and have not received the same amount of funding for flood mitigation as other local communities, according to experts and community advocates.
That has reinforced the belief by many residents of low-income areas in eastern Harris County along Greens and Halls bayous, which have repeatedly flooded, that they will continue to be left behind and forgotten about, said Iris Gonzalez, director of the Coalition for Environment, Equity, and Resilience, a Houston-based advocacy group.
“A lot of the questions that the community has for … our elected officials is, ‘When is the investment going to come?’ How many hurricane seasons do they have to face before they can feel and see the level of protection that they deserve,” Gonzalez said.
