Emma hosts Jake Bittle, staff writer at Grist, to discuss his recent book The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration. Then, she's joined by David Cohen, professor at Drexel Law School, to discuss the recent district court rulings on medication abortion in Texas and Washington State. And in the Fun Half, it's Dan From The Internet! First, Emma runs through updates on the identity of the Louisville bank shooter, statistics on gun violence in the US, Nashville reinstating Justin Jones to the Tennessee statehouse, and potential ethics hearings about Clarence Thomas' relationship to billionaire GOP donor Harlan Crow, before diving into updates on the incredible Rutgers faculty strike and the support among students. Jake Bittle then dives right into his work exploring the existing displacement of myriad communities in the US due to environmental disasters, first walking through the parallels and contrasts he draws with the great migration of Black Americans from the South over the first half of the 20th Century, and the particular role that the chaotic nature of climate disaster plays in separating them. Next, Bittle walks through the various examples we have in recent years of climate displacement, from California wildfires to the flooding and weather in the South, to explore why failed capitalist policies – like those around housing and corporate exploitation – create insecure communities that cannot appropriately respond to immediate disasters, before looking to a particular community in North Carolina as a perfect example for why we need to emphasize resilience over relocation when these disasters strike. Professor David Cohen then parses through the last week in abortion news, with a carefully coordinated GOP lawsuit in Texas successfully overturning a multi-decade precedent by the FDA that approved the abortion pill Mifepristone. He and Emma discuss the particular role of Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in pushing the GOP agenda through the US court system, analyze his absurd reliance on 1800s obscenities laws in his decision, and why this decision completely ignores medical studies and the authority of the FDA. Wrapping up, they tackle the impact this ruling might have on gender-affirming care, and other medical rights under threat. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Dan From The Internet! They reflect on their come-up at TYT, Dan making a deal with the devil to produce good progressive content, and the Right's utter failure in pitching conservatism to the youth. Alex Jones and Stephen Crowder discuss the ANTI-WOKE victory that is the Super Mario Bros. premier, Owen from LA dives into candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, and Anesh from India calls in to discuss the ultimate oppression: elective circumcision. Candace Owens goes on a pro-nationalist rampage, exploring why Hitler's issue was invading Poland, not genocide, plus, your calls and IMs!

As climate change causes more storms and floods, residents of coastal areas are being forced to move inland—driving up rents and displacing current residents of those regions. Milliman recently studied this issue in a paper called “Climate Displacement in New York City: Making Space for Our Neighbors,” published with Rebuild by Design, a nonprofit that helps communities build resilience. On this episode of Critical Point, two of the study authors discuss the groups most at risk, designing Manhattan to be more like Hong Kong, and how 40% of New Yorkers may be displaced without proactive city planning.

Lanor Curole is a member of the United Houma Nation. She grew up in Golden Meadow, a small bayou town in Southern Louisiana. The impacts of repetitive flooding in the area forced her to move farther north.Louisiana's coastal wetlands lose about 16 square miles of land each year. This land loss, pollution from the 2010 BP oil spill, and lingering devastation from Hurricanes Katrina and Ida are pushing many Houma people out of their homes.Since 1985, the United Houma Nation has been seeking federal tribal recognition status. Without this status, the tribe has fewer resources to respond to the climate crisis.“Our people are on that front line, but we don't have a seat at that table,” Curole said.Gaining federal recognition would grant the Houma access to the Indian Health Service and would allow the tribe to work directly with federal agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency when storms strike.“It's not like Willy Wonka's ‘golden ticket' … but I think it does open some additional doors that are definitely closed to us right now,” Curole said.Episode 11 explores the Houma people's efforts to preserve culture in the face of the climate crisis.Voices from the episode:Lanor Curole, Houma tribal administratorThomas Dardar Jr., former chief of the United Houma NationShanondora Billiot, assistant professor of social work at Arizona State UniversityDaniel Lewerenz, assistant professor at the University of North Dakota School of LawSeason 4 of “American Diagnosis” is a co-production of KHN and Just Human Productions.  Our Editorial Advisory Board includes Jourdan Bennett-Begaye, Alastair Bitsóí, and Bryan Pollard.

This episode discusses the challenges associated with migration and human displacement in the context of climate change, and explores policy responses available to international organisations. Given the complex interactions between climate change, conflict and displacement, many humanitarian agencies and NGOs are only just beginning to come to grips with the implications of climate change on displacement issues.  Our host, Roshan Melwani, is joined by Dr. Nina Hall, an Assistant Professor of International Relations at John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. She previously worked as a Lecturer at the Hertie School of Governance, and was a Policy Officer at the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Her research focuses on international organizations, transnational advocacy, climate adaptation, and global refugee governance. Dr. Hall's book “Displacement, Development and Climate Change”, explores how international organisations have evolved their mandates over time to incorporate climate change as an area of focus. This podcast delves into and builds on the insights offered by the book to see how our global humanitarian institutions can remain fit for purpose to respond to the challenge of climate change.   This episode is hosted and researched by Roshan Melwani.

In 1951 diplomats from around the world met in Geneva, Switzerland to sign the UN convention relating to the status of refugees. The Convention was designed to address the most pressing cause of displacement in Europe at the time: the persecution of minorities and political opponents by authoritarian governments. In the years since, we've come to learn of a new threat: climate change. The changing climate and associated weather events are forcing many to leave their homes. The 1951 Convention does nothing to protect these people. So, what should be done? One suggestion is that we sign a new convention, create a legal category for those displaced by climate change and award them a set of uniform rights. Jamie Draper from Oxford university is not convinced. Today. I asked him why. Also, what have philosophers had to say about climate displacement? What does justice demand in the case of sinking island states? And why are so many people against using the term “climate refugee”?

Today's episode of Jointly Venturing is about how YOU can help change the world today by supporting a project to provide free, permanent housing to some of Bangladesh's most vulnerable families who have been displaced by climate change. In this episode we speak with Arif Rahman and Mohammed Shahjahan of Young Power in Social Action (YPSA) from Chittagong, Bangladesh about their work with the One House, One Family at a time project (OHOF) which provides homes for some of the country's most disadvantaged families from southeastern Bangladesh. In collaboration with Displacement Solutions, OHOF has raised funds from private individuals over the past two years sufficient to construct eight new homes. In 2020, a third phase of OHOF will take effect during which time funds will be sought to build a further 12 homes by the end of the year. Former UNHCR official Brian Gorlick also appears in Episode 15. Brian recently visited the first homes built by OHOF and spoke extensively with the families now residing there. If you would like to participate directly in solving climate displacement in Bangladesh through the OHOF project, please feel free to write us at either info@onenessworld.org or info@displacementsolutions.org and we will explain how to deposit your contribution into the OHOF account, 100% of which we go to Bangladesh to construct new homes during phase 3 of the project. We are also, of course, happy to answer any questions you may have about OHOF. If we all work together, we can solve climate displacement, so let's get started!
