Dr. Robert Bullard Houstons Unrestrained Capitalism Made Harvey Catastrophe Waiting to HappenThis is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. JUAN GONZLEZ The death toll is rising as massive amounts of rain from Hurricane Harvey continue to flood Houston and other parts of Texas and Louisiana. The Houston police and Coast Guard have rescued over 6,0. Meteorologists forecast another foot of rain could fall on the region in the coming days. Harvey, which is now a tropical storm, is heading back to the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to make landfall again on Wednesday. AMYGOODMAN So much rain has already fallen that the National Weather Service has had to add two new colors to its maps to indicate rainfall levels. Parts of Texas are expected to top 5. And the rivers keep rising. Southwest of Houston, in Richmond, the Brazos River reached flood stage overnight at 4. National Weather Service forecasts it will peak at 5. Friday and remain over 5. Sunday. Houstons KHOU described the epic amount of rainfall. KHOUREPORTER I want to show you what a meteorologist has done. There it is. The meteorologist calculates, by the end of Wednesday, Harvey will have saturated all of Southeast Texas with enough water to fill all the NFL and college stadiums, all those stadiums, more than a hundred times. Think about that. More than a hundred times. Capitalism 2 For Windows 7' title='Capitalism 2 For Windows 7' />So, so far, the meteorologist saying 1. Wednesday. JUAN GONZLEZ The official death toll is 1. Six people from one family died after their van was swept away by floodwaters. Emergency shelters are approaching capacity. CORPUSCHRISTIRESIDENT Already crowded. Apple Garageband 1.1. But all they said, that were getting 8. And its like, whatWhere are they going to put us all You know, what about us, from CorpusWhat are we going to do And FEMA is here right now, but the line is enormous. Yesterday, we were in line for three hours and couldnt even see FEMA. So, I dont know whats going to happen. Buses just keep rolling in. And we need everybodys help. JUAN GONZLEZ Concern is also growing over the environmental impact of the storm. The Houston area is home to more than a dozen oil refineries. The group Air Alliance Houston is warning the shutdown of the petrochemical plants will send more than 1 million pounds of harmful pollution into the air. Residents of Houstons industrial communities are already reporting unbearable chemical like smells coming from the many plants nearby. According to Bryan Parras, an activist at the environmental justice group t. Fenceline communities cant leave or evacuate, so they are literally getting gassed by these chemicals. The communities closest to these sites in Houston are disproportionately low income and minority. Meanwhile, on Saturday, a massive fuel storage tank at Kinder Morgans Pasadena terminal began spilling after being toppled in the storm. The tank held 6. 3 million gallons of gasoline, but its unclear how much of that leaked. And in the city of La Porte, residents were asked to go to the nearest shelter, close doors and windows, after a chemical spill was reported last night. AMYGOODMAN While the National Hurricane Center is now calling Harvey the biggest rainstorm on record, its not come as a complete surprise. Scientists have been predicting for years climate change could result in massive storms like Harvey. Climate scientist Michael Mann wrote this quote, Harvey was almost certainly more intense than it would have been in the absence of human caused warming, which means stronger winds, more wind damage and a larger storm surge. We go now to Houston to speak with Robert Bullard, known as the father of environmental justice, currently a distinguished professor at Texas Southern University. Hes the former director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University. Were reaching Dr. Bullard from his home in Houston, which he needs to evacuate later this morning due to the rising Brazos River. Professor Bullard, thanks so much for being with us. Can you talk about the situation youre in and so many people in Houston are in right now Describe the scene for us, and then how you relate it to your lifes work, to the issue of climate change and environmental justice. ROBERTBULLARD Well, good morning, and thanks for having me. Harvey and the aftermath, the flooding of Houston and the surrounding areas, its of biblical proportion. This is a nightmare. And the images that you see on television, and you hear theyou hear the voices of people who have been just totally destroyed. And this is a situation where I think its telling us that we have to change. We have to change the way we do business and the way that we, as humans, interact with our environment. And this is basically the situation where this storm, this flooding of this city, tells us that theres no place thats immune from devastation. I worked, you know, in New Orleans in the flooding after Katrina. You know, New Orleans was only 5. Houston is 2. 3 million people. And then you look at the surrounding areas. Youre talking 5. And so you talk about this devastation. It is of historic proportion. JUAN GONZLEZ And, Dr. Bullard, to what degree do you think unchecked development by Houstons officials over the past several decades has created an even worse possibility for calamity when a natural disaster like this hits ROBERTBULLARD Well, Houston is actuallywas a catastrophe waiting to happen, given the fact you have unrestrained capitalism, no zoning, laissez faire regulations when it comes to control of the very industries that have created lots of problems, when it comes to greenhouse gases and other industrial pollution, the impact that basically has been ignored for many years. And so, the fact that this isyou know, it is a disaster, but its a very predictable disaster. And those communities that historically have borne the burden of environmental pollution and contamination from these many industries at the same time are the very communities that are bearing disproportionately the burden of this flooding. And so you get this pre existing condition of inequality before the storm and this inequality in terms of how people are able to address this disaster because of vulnerability. And I think what we have to do is look at some lessonswell, not learn from Katrina in terms of the rebuilding, redevelopment and recovery. JUAN GONZLEZ And theres been quite a bit of second guessing of Mayor Sylvester Turners decision not to call for an evacuation of the city. Im wondering your take on that, especially given what happened with Hurricanewas it Ritaa couple of years ago, when there was an evacuation effort made, but more people ended up dying, about a hundred people, in the gridlock that occurred as people tried to leave a city as large as Houston. ROBERTBULLARD Well, its easy to second guess, but the fact is that trying to evacuate, you know, 2. And so, you know, I dont think there was anything that you can say, Well, why is it that the mayor and the county judge decided to go this way You know, when you look at the problems of logistics and trying to move this many people on these highways getting out of the city, that probably was not a good choice to make. And so I think the decision to have people shelter in placeand no one could predict, you know, what happened afterward.
