What happened in Texas won’t stay in Texas
Dozens have died, regions of Texas are still without power, and millions are facing the long term cascading impacts of extreme weather, systemic inequity and crumbling infrastructure. This entirely predictable (and predicted) tragedy is yet another example of the polycrisis made visible.
This conversation entitled ‘What Happened in Texas, Won’t Stay in Texas’, is an exploration of the interconnected nature of these cascading crises.
