The Paris Climate Summit is a vital set of standards to protect people from devastating climate that is permanently driving people from their homeland. There are the issues of drought, flooding, severe cold and oppressive heat.
I am sorry to hear Donald Trump is making a decision to oppose the Paris Climate Summit.
The USA have climate crisis victims.
The "Climate Justice" movement:
Climate justice (click here) links human rights and development to achieve a human-centred approach, safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable people and sharing the burdens and benefits of climate change and its impacts equitably and fairly. Climate justice is informed by science, responds to science and acknowledges the need for equitable stewardship of the world’s resources.
Guided by core principles the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice dedicates itself to action in order to realise its vision of a world engaged in the advancing of climate justice.
The draft principles were developed and discussed by the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice based on the common understanding of key principles, concepts and opportunities identified at a meeting of a small group of people from all parts of the world who have been working on climate justice issues. The meeting was supported by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation in Pocantico in July 2011.
These principles are rooted in the frameworks of international and regional human rights law and do not require the breaking of any new ground on the part of those who ought, in the name of climate justice, to be willing to take them on....
I just finished writing to a group of scientists I regularly correspond with about this very issue. Oddly to me, Chris Hayes talked to Secretary Kerry on his program this evening. I am looking forward to the special on the topic.
But, the USA's minorities have rightfully identified with others in the international theater experiencing the impact, the very profound impact of the climate crisis. No different than other impoverished people they do not have resources to move away from or even find safety from the climate crisis.
American minorities are more susceptible to stifling heat, brittle cold, severe storms, rising water and lack of clean water and fresh air.
There is a video on C-Span of a panel discussion of the topic of "Climate Justice." (click here)
One aspect of this movement as articulated by qualified people to represent the minority populations in the USA, is the end of the climate denier Congressperson. They are sorry to hear elected members of Congress deny the existence of the climate crisis. In denying the subject they also deny the profound effects on these populations of Americans.

I fully agree there should have been a huge awareness of the impacts of the climate crisis on minorities populations after the profound loss of 1,836 Americans by Category Five Hurricane Katrina in 2005. There are 1577 people lost in Louisiana and 238 people in Mississippi. The profound negligence of the USA regarding the helplessness of these people is the fact over half lost were elderly. These people died before their time because of the negligence of the USA to identify the climate crisis and act to guard from it.
NASA studies these storms to understand them an help develop policy to minimize the problems in the USA. Those studies unfortunately go unheeded by a Congress that continues these profound problems.
Katrina was the size of the Gulf of Mexico. It was a record setter.

Little Rock, Ark. (KTHV) -- Hurricane Katrina (click here) wrecked the coast of New Orleans in 2005. As a neighboring state, several Arkansans went down to help. While there, an Arkansas Army National Guardsman saved an evacuee’s family photos that he found. Almost 11 years later, he's still hoping to get them back to its owners.
Timothy and Larayna Honea have been posting the photos on social media all this time, but so far they have had no luck, which is why they reached out to THV11 for help.
“There's something in here that she wanted to keep,” said Honea. “She thought to grab these pictures.”...
It may be the person who might identify those pictures are no longer alive. There may be family that would appreciate them if indeed that is the case.
