In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I explain why America will never be a climate leader. Specifically, I look at how the United States has spent over 40 years attempting to pass climate legislation and take climate action but because of partisan gridlock and the firm hold fossil fuel companies and the capitalist class have on the government, nothing substantial has gotten done. As a result, the emissions levels of the United States are much higher than in the 1980s. But the United States not only has failed on climate change and climate leadership domestically but also internationally. The United States continues to block climate agendas that foreground climate reparations, and through its massive military pollutes the air and destabilizes regions especially susceptible to climate change. The United States will never be a climate leader because it is a huge obstacle to effective climate justice and climate action.
