I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.
It’s only when we talk about acting on climate do some ask,“how are you going to pay for it?”
As though climate inaction doesn’t have a price tag.
As though the Midwest didn’t flood.
As though California isn’t on fire.
As though 1000s didn’t die in María.
