To talk about the current state of climate disinformation, we checked in with three NPR reporters who have reported on climate, disinformation and the media — and they can answer our questions: Climate solutions reporter Julia Simon, media correspondent David Folkenflik, and reporter Huo Jingnan, who writes about conspiracy theories among other things.sometimes paid for by fossil fuel interests
What sort of impact do these conspiracy theories have on the people in the field trying to work on climate solutions?I met with Carlos Moreno, a Franco-Colombian professor who developed this idea of the 15-minute city — these more walkable, bikeable neighborhoods that conspiracy theorists think are preludes to open-air prisons. Moreno says he's gotten death threats, and so have other scientists and researchers.
Under a local air quality rule, rendering plants that produce certain types of products are required to post signs notifying community members where to report associated odor issues. But an LAist review found that two of these companies were out of compliance in recent years, and a third company has changed its business operations and avoided the pollution rule.Local air quality regulators cited two rendering plants, Darling Ingredients, Inc. and Baker Commodities, Inc.
In an email, AQMD spokesperson Nahal Mogharabi said air quality officials observed that Baker’s sign “was placed more than 50 feet from the main entrance of the facility” during an unannounced inspection in September 2018. The company’s guard shack also obstructed the sign from public view. AQMD confirmed that the sign was moved to comply with the rule by December of that year.
In an emailed statement, spokesperson Jimmy Andreoli II said Baker is “dedicated to finding sustainable ways to support California’s food production and restaurant industries with continued strict adherence to local, state, and federal environmental laws.”Founded in 1922, Coast is located along the L.A. River next to the shuttered Farmer John slaughterhouse and rendering plant building — famous for large murals of pigs grazing on an idyllic farm.
“All you have to do is drive around on a bad day, and you will find absolutely disgusting odors from these facilities,” he said. “When notice really strong odors coming from the facility, is how they understand that there is actually a regulator that's involved,” said Stein, who previously worked as an attorney advising clients on regulatory compliance. “Without that signage there, folks might be experiencing those problems, but not understand that they have some sort of recourse.”, which “can cause pretty significant health impacts.
“We may be right back in the situation we were before this last wet year in a year or two, but it does appear that we're going to have another wet year, and that should set us up again to avoid desperation, for maybe, instead of one to two years, maybe three to five years,” Pierce said. The committee is also considering a proposal that would expand the size of the council, which would mean each council member would represent fewer people and, ideally, be more responsive to constituents.It's also a vastly different council. Seven of the 15 members joined it in the past year. None of them had ever held elected office. And the council leans decidedly more left.
Martinez was council president at the time and stood at the center of the controversy. Her comments on the tape were the most offensive.“There is no way I could undo what I said, or undo the hurt that I created,” she says on the podcast. “So the only thing I knew how to do was hand over my responsibilities as a council president and make sure that I didn't mess up anything else there.”“The difference is dramatic,” said Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson.
It helps that Mayor Karen Bass, who took office just two months after the release of the tape, generally opposes the use of LAPD officers to remove unhoused people from encampments and has centered attention on her It's not a new idea. Reformers have been lobbying for it for years. The state and L.A. county already use independent commissions.
Martinez and the others can be heard lamenting that half the city’s population is Latino, but Latinos hold only four of 15 council seats. In the course of the conversation, de León is heard saying essentially that Black people have too much power. Black people represent about 8% of the L.A. population and hold three seats on the council.
Whether the conversation was illegal, it added to the perception that there exists a culture of corruption at L.A. City Hall. Over recent years, three former members of the council, and more than a half dozen City Hall staffers and others have been convicted of various charges, including bribery and obstruction of justice.“That suggests that corrupt intent is widespread..at City Hall and I refuse to accept that’s true,” he said.
Harris-Dawson is well aware of the challenges facing City Hall one year after the bombshell of the tapes.What questions or concerns do you have about civics and democracy in Southern California? We also asked Martinez to engage and think through how her comments were connected to the larger systemic issues of anti-Black racism and colorism in the Latino community. Over the course of our six-hour interview, Martinez largely declined to do so.
Protestors demonstrate outside City Hall calling for the resignations of L.A. City Council members Kevin de Leon and Gil Cedillo in the wake of a leaked audio recording on Oct. 12, 2022.I had already internally, even though I did not say this to anyone, I had already accepted that this was so big that there is nothing that I could say or do to undo this and that I needed to step down. A hundred percent. I knew that there was gonna be consequences, that I needed to pay for this.
Senator Padilla told us he does not dispute Nury’s account of this call. LAist reached out repeatedly to Mayor Bass, described this story to her spokesperson and asked for her comment, but we never heard back. In a later interview with LAist’s Larry Mantle, Bass denied she thought it would blow over, and added, “even if it was, I wanna take a crisis and seize it as an opportunity.
And that is something that I saw not only in the media, but I see in politics. I see in everyday life. When you turn on the television, our stories are not being told. And when we do tell them and when we are frustrated, even in a private conversation, it's turned against us. Like we don't have a right as a community to advocate for ourselves because somehow that goes against another ethnic group. I don't know why we do that.
It was insensitive. It was mean. I never meant to hurt Jacob, and I'm going to have to live with that for the rest of my life, you know? I've never romanticized motherhood. Anybody who knows me and has been around me knows my child is also pretty wild. And now she's a teenager and it's even crazier at a different level. I've never romanticized parenthood. It's really, really hard.
Allwright of the Windship Association estimates that, on average, wing technology amounts to $3 million to $4 million tacked on to a $100 million ship."It's not insignificant, but it's also not a huge expense," he says.
