In its first week, the new administration has taken many steps to roll back climate progress. One I want to draw extra attention to is the repeal of an environmental justice Executive Order I was proud to champion in the Clinton-Gore White House. The video below shows a day's...

@NYAnna22 That’s a big one. One I have pushed to be enforced for years. @JoeBiden gave it even more teeth.

Pollution rules are the same everywhere. Are they being enforced here? Wikipedia says: In 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency reported findings of the existence of an extremely high risk of cancer in the region and noted that Reserve was the epicenter of the area of high risk for cancer. The agency identified releases of the chemical compound chloroprene as responsible for the high risk. This chemical compound was being released from the Pontchartrain Works facility, a manufacturing facility owned and operated for decades by DuPont and sold in 2015 to Denka of Japan. The facility is the only producer of the chemical in the United States.

You were chided as the “Gorbot” and mocked for your mannerisms. You were right all along, Sir. I hope we can control this before it’s really too late.

Was it causing bureaucratic delays in improvements in the area that would benefit the residents? You know we had that here in Nashville and I don’t remember you publicly working to change that.

There has to be some sort of crazy high amount of taxes we can pay to stop this. PLEASE!

I’ve spent the past three days in Louisiana taking part in events organized by local community leaders to highlight the devastating impacts of the climate crisis — from Hurricane Katrina to the region dominated by the petrochemical industry known as Cancer Alley. I was deeply moved by the stories from Sharon Lavigne, risestjames and the many people from across the River Parishes who have seen the lives of their sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters cut short by the toxic chemicals in the air they breathe, water they drink, and food they eat. I had the opportunity to join my daughter Karenna as she led a dialogue for COP30’s Global Ethical Stocktake with those who work at the intersection of faith, environmental justice, and climate advocacy. It was made all the more powerful by our surroundings at the TEP Center with civil rights pioneer, Dr. Leona Tate. Today, I was honored to participate in the community commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in the lower Ninth Ward. During Katrina, the levees failed. But so did the policies that have perpetuated environmental injustice and placed this community on the frontlines of the climate crisis. And so did the programs that were supposed to support the survivors of this disaster. We cannot continue to fail the people of Louisiana by using the sky as if it were an open sewer. We need to move swiftly to phase out the fossil fuels that are killing people with pollution in Cancer Alley and fueling stronger and more frequent extreme weather. When the rain comes, when the storms hit, when the drought dries up the water, when the ice melts and the sea level rises, remember these warnings came. Listen to the scientists who are warning us. Listen to the people of Cancer Alley, of the Lower Ninth Ward, and of all of the frontline communities who are demanding action. Thank you to Sharon and the entire RISE St. James team for hosting me and Climate Reality in St. James and Beyond Petrochemicals Repairers of the Breach Hip Hop Caucus 🏁 & Taproot Earth for your ongoing work to lift up the voices of those who live in Cancer Alley. And thank you to Rev Yearwood ✊🏾 for joining us in St. James and inviting me to join you in your #Katrina20 remembrance. We have much more work to do. So let’s rise to the occasion and demand climate action.

I am sorry but Dr Pal Manickam, the Gastroenterologist from California, is becoming not just a health misinformation menace, but also a subtle "hate-monger" with his divisive attitude towards dietary choices in India, also known as Bharat, a Union of States and marriage of [dietary] cultures and traditions. Claims: 1. Eating red meat (beef and pork) causes colon cancer 2. Nitrosamines (from nitrites/nitrates) in red meat causes colon cancer 3. Cancer screening in USA above age of 50, but not in India 4. Kerala has maximum number of colon cancers in India 5. Kerala has maximum number of colon cancers because Malayalees eat a lot of beef. A lot. Response: 1. Eating red meat does not cause colon cancer Higher red meat consumption was shown to have a correlation with increased risk for colon cancer, but the evidence for independent association was weak and remains weak Eating red meat does not increase risk of colon cancer. Excessive consumption of red meat/ processed meat (excessive not yet fully defined across populations) was confusingly correlated with increased risk of colon cancer 2. Studies have only looked at nitrites and nitrates [and hence nitrosamine formation] causing stomach cancer and not colon cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) also focussed on nitrosamines and stomach cancer, but the potential role for dietary nitrate/nitrite in colon cancer is not conclusively proven. Meat-based diets (specifically processed meat, not fresh meat) have a well described higher risk for cancer, but it is not readily attributable to nitrite consistently in all studies. Most studies are on ground and well water and not meat. And the strongest study to show cancer link and nitrite consumption is in mice, not humans The biggest source of nitrate exposure is dietary consumption of certain types of vegetables that are naturally high in nitrate. This is a clear case of investigator bias, looking at any possible way to force the data into a specific conclusion (like Dr. Pal is doing in the video). The IARC maintains the tone of its conclusion, but only to reiterate its validity in a theoretical state, while acknowledging that the epidemiology does to support these conclusions. Nitrites are just one reason processed meats may contribute to bowel cancer, and their relative importance is uncertain. Other factors that may contribute include iron; PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) which are formed in smoked meats; and HCAs (heterocyclic amines), which are created when meat is cooked over an open flame – and which also are tumour-promoting. So its not just red meat, but the cooking method signficantly affecting health outcomes. 3. India does not have a national level screening protocol because the proportion of colon cancer among all cancers in India is only 3% which would lead to wastage of medical resources on a low-incidence cancer detection protocol. But in the USA, colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death. Overall, the lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 26 for women - which is much much higher compared to India and that is why they have screening protocols in place - not because they eat more red meat than Indians. 4. Kerala has the highest crude incidence rate of all cancers followed by Mizoram. Not colon cancer. All cancers. Highest colon cancer rates and burden of colon cancer are observed in Goa and Orissa, not Kerala. & While the discussion on beef and colon cancer is ongoing in the video, a segment of the clip shows a news item "concerning increasing cases of colon cancer in Kerala" - this is that news piece - - and read what it says: it talks about only younger age group and colon cancer. "Experts opine that underlying factors leading to the rise in cases, especially at this age, could be lifestyle, environment and genetic factors" - they do not mention beef at all. The report also says: "Though we have no authentic records to show the statistics of rising cases, we have been observing a trend here. Our changing lifestyle is most likely to blame for the rise in colorectal cancer cases amongst younger people, though hereditary reasons are also a major cause." - again, no mention of beef eating. 5. Lakshwadeep is India's biggest meat eater followed by north-east states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland and Manipur followed by Kerala. MEAT EATING. Not beef eating. Specifically looking at the largest beef consuming state - it is Meghalaya, where more than 80% of the population consumes this meat, not Kerala. Kerala is the largest beef consuming state in the context of male population only. [ 6. Oh by the way, about pork and colon cancer --> the risk was not increased consuming high amounts of pork: and there is only one study showing colon cancer risk in women in Japan, not India and that too who consumed pork >/= 3 times/week compared to </=1 time: Add-on: The risk for colon cancer is not red meat alone (with weak evidence), but more importantly (with stronger evidence), alcohol use, smoking, family history of cancer, presence of inflammatory bowel disease, obesity and polyps or adenoma of colon. These have been very conviniently ignored by the Gastroenterologist from California. Summary - red meat causing colon cancer is not convincingly proven. Increased intake of processed red meat more than higher intake of unprocessed red meat is weakly linked from evidence point of view to colon cancer risk. Nitrosamine in red meat as cancer causing in humans is not proven. Kerala does not have the largest burden of colon cancer in India, nor it is the largest consumer of beef. There is no realistic evidence that eating pork increases risk of colon cancer. These are actual facts. And I am not even a Gastroenterologist from California. I am a Hepatologist. From India.
