Earth Day assessment: new climate report and oil leases
Native Americans face a six-fold increased risk of flash floods because of climate change in the next two years.
That is one of the predictions in a new study led by the University of Oklahoma. One of the study’s authors says “Indigenous communities are grappling with an imminent climate crisis.”
P> And Native groups are both praising and lambasting the Biden Administration’s direction on oil leases on federal lands.
Depending on where you stand, new policies are either protecting diminishing land, or denying Native people the jobs necessary to feed their families
