As water becomes a black market south of the border, I spoke with experts that say Texas border communities, from Zapata County through The Rio Grande Valley may possibly run out of water “in a few weeks.” Texas Public Radio story: tpr.org/border-immigra…

South Texas is in dire need of water. One reservoir, Lake Falcon, is just 9% full. Communities are extending water intakes and installing pumps to capture what little remains. Amistad, another reservoir, is less than one-third full. via @InsideClimate bit.ly/3QMD9FY

The scope and severity of the flooding in Pakistan — which has killed over 1,000 people — is drawing comparisons to the devastating rains of 2010. New satellite images capture the enormity of the challenge facing the country in responding to the disaster. trib.al/3tEPIyd

.@FERC voted to ignore community concerns and allow the LNG companies to move forward with plans to destroy the environment & pollute the Rio Grande Valley. Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe & community orgs are committed to resisting Rio Grande LNG, Texas LNG, & Rio Bravo Pipeline.

70 people here at Cameron County Courthouse this morning opposing tax abatements for Rio Grande LNG & Texas LNG that are on the Commissioners Court agenda If built, these LNG projects would be the biggest polluters in the RGV & could avoid paying $300 million+ in taxes combined

After the vote, Rio Grande Valley residents gathered outside the courtroom to speak out against the wrong decision made by the County Commissioners. LNG companies not paying taxes is just another example of exploitation and destruction of our low-income people of color community

Every other major inlet is already ringed with refineries, chemical plants, and terminals. But at the tip of Texas, the Rio Grande meets the Gulf between wildlife refuges, a state park, and a majestic wilderness that still shelters endangered wildlife. insideclimatenews.org/news/13052024/…
