> Which means there is a moral imperative for informed, caring people to name the real root causes behind this crisis — connecting the dots between climate pollution, systemic racism, underfunding of social services, and overfunding of police. I see the obvious relevance of climate change and perhaps social services, but I don't see how systemic racism is a factor in the tragedy of the storm Harvey. Certainly, the article provides no context. For rebuilding, it is likely to be an issue, but it is almost defeatist to assume ahead of time and include it in the current tragedy.
