WASHINGTON — Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico once decried capitalism as an “oppressive” system — along with white supremacy and climate change — that needed to be dismantled, while predicting that the Lone Star State’s fossil fuel industry was “not gonna last. ” Speaking to Sierra Club activists on a September 2020 Zoom call, Talarico warned that the US was facing the “multi-faceted threat” of a climate, economic, and social crisis. One activist asked about how communities of color suffer harm from climate change.
