How can cities become resilient to the shocks of climate change? As a leading force behind Detroit’s ongoing revitalization, Anika Goss spends a lot of time thinking about this question. Connecting the city’s industrial past to its sustainable future, she explores the link between climate vulnerability and economic inequity, offering a vision for responding to both challenges at once.

    So true! -> “Being financially secure and climate resilient should be the most important priority for communities, across the country.” 🤍

    “Climate change exacerbates and compounds economic inequity, in our city.” – Definitely.

    She must not know that much about climate change because she hasn’t said a word about driving a Gas car , everything rides on the Electric car , without Electric transportation we will never stop climate change

    • Jacob

      Be serious, electric cars are a scam, their data companies disguised as car companies, their not eco friendly, their not that much better than fossil fuel cars, the only way to decarbonized transportation is public transport and cycling infrastructure.

      NO car is even better than an electric car, which is exactly what she’s talking about.

      You’re exactly right whatever it takes to get all that lithium from Africa to here.

      July 14, 2023 at 7:44 pm

      Thats total BS. The more electric cars the more the electric grid will overload. You can have your electric car but forget about your air conditioning in the summer.

    • ejeff lamphier

      All transportation forms represent 30% of all carbon emissions, of that, only 39% comes from personal automobiles. The big culprit is not cars but manufacturing and construction. Sadly the focus on electric cars only results in a net 2% decrease in CO2. That assumes no increase in anything else and the majority of vehicles are electric.

    • Bryan Roschetzky

      July 15, 2023 at 2:53 pm

      @ejefflamphier4513  well that’s why you don’t understand , without switching all transportation to EVs you can transition the rest , the same batteries for the cars become huge battery banks storing energy and then the same batteries can be used for electric grid storage and then you have a carbon free society

      You don’t have to have all carbon emissions go to zero

      The earth can heal itself , it’s called trees and decomposition and happens every year , we just need to get our emission under control , you can still have some manufacturing and some consutrction being fossil fuels , it’s the magnitude but from the EV revolution will come grid storage batteries and that will take us to the ERA OF ENERGY SUPERABUNDANCE

    • Bryan Roschetzky

      July 15, 2023 at 2:56 pm

      @lpp3rd712  you charge your car at night , when your not using AC , actually your wrong and just don’t know the truth about what is coming in the industry , it’s called the ERA OF ENERGY SUPERABUNDANCE, THE SAME batteries being made for EVs are the same batteries that will make the entire electric grid , more stable and give us an almost unlimited amount of close to FREE energy , just takes a little educating , Google Tony Seba

    Climate has changed how? Always bsing about climate change. Give it up people. What happened to global warming?

  10. Curt Bagne

    July 14, 2023 at 8:53 am

    Detroit certainly has issues but climate isn’t chief among them. Sure it rained but a lot of flooding was caused by crackheads stealing copper from the pump houses so the sewers became overwhelmed.

  11. Armandhammer

    Detroit has much bigger problems than climate change.

    Try lookig at single parent homes with absentee parents and you might find a solution . Just point your finger and play the blame game.

    • grumpystiltskin

      July 15, 2023 at 10:24 am

      Well, it has been govt policy to MAKE SURE sure low income homes are single parent. “If there is a man in the household, no welfare for you!”

      This may come as a real shock to you, but it turns out our society can tackle more than one problem at a time.

    • Phlatz

    There is a very good chance of oceans going up hundreds of feet if we don’t stop climate change very soon

  16. Zak W

    July 14, 2023 at 9:34 am

    Nothing can stop the inevitable collapse of industrial civilization, certainly not a few tiny plants. In order to effectively hamper climate change in any meaningful way we would need to return all of the world to about 1910 levels of energy consumption, today. Anything short of reducing our energy budget is false climate activism.

    Rain events now are caused by climate intervention operations. Flooding is caused by massive cloud seeding. The government is controlling every aspect of the weather. It weather warfare.

    July 15, 2023 at 5:27 pm

    So, here we are having a great conversation about climate change and al of a sudden it turns into a racial conversation of leaving out a demographic… the questio. I HAVE IS WHAT DEMOGRAPHIC DOES SHE MEAN…SHE SAID “DARK OR BROWN” DEMOGRAPHIC…I grew up in the Cass corridor and lived right next door to the people she is refering to, I didn’t have any more or any less opportunity then my neighbors, my friends…the people I love and call family… there was no question of my skin being lighter than someone else’s, I lived in the community, we were all struggling… so this division we folks are talking about is the racist division being created before your eyes… I NEVER LOOKED AT SOMEONE AS DARK, BROWN, BLACK, WHITE… I met and treated all as individuals, based on their character and morals…. stop the DIVISION AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE…I mean WTF!

    A “climate” crisis of its own making.

This question inspired chef Anthony Myint to go from opening buzzy pop-ups to pushing for a shift to regenerative farming practices in the food system. He explains how it didn’t go the way he expected at first — and how restaurants are now teaming up with farmers and eaters alike to restore the climate while serving up delicious food.
