Less than 20 months in, Dallas has laid the groundwork for its long-term climate action plan, which directs the city to better manage carbon emissions by 2050.
In its first year, city staff said they achieved 93% of their assigned annual goals and began work on half the actions from the 30-year climate plan approved by the City Council in May 2020. Among the completed tasks: a new urban forestry website, the launch of its sustainable procurement program, the installation of air quality monitors and hundreds of new trees planted.
With nearly 100 actions items, the plan addresses eight issues: energy-efficient and climate-resilient buildings, renewable and affordable energy, transportation, waste, water resources, green spaces, food and clean air.
While proud of its initial success, the city is striving to accomplish more of its goals this year.
Communities of color and those with high poverty are disproportionately more vulnerable to extreme temperatures and other climate disasters, according to research from the Environmental Protection Agency.
City leaders hope to reverse some of the existing damage.
A few environmental justice projects are already in the works, said Paula Blackmon, chair of the City Council’s environment and sustainability committee.
The city is increasing its focus on food management to minimize its food desert and become a zero-waste community.

FIDIOTS! Why yes Virginia, there really are stoopid people running things.
CO2 is not a dangerous pollutant.
It s essential for life on earth.
[[In its first year, city staff said they achieved 93% of their assigned annual goals]]
Everyone is suffering both financially, and nega4ively affected them In terms of convenience and living comfortably, and their efforts haven’t budged the climate one 1000’th of a degree! Nor will it ever- but by golly people will get mega rich imposing mandates fines taxes and regulations!.
the plan is:
- give more money to corrupt political cronies in the name of “green energy”
- waste more government resources on higher priced and less efficient energy schemes
- destabilize the energy supply network, subjecting it to black-swan type shocks
- make the poor and vulnerable pay more.
It will work per above, because there has been good models in place elsewhere. Forward!
Too late. Isn’t climate change irreversible by 2030? We’re all gonna drown when the icecaps melt!
Ignore the rhetoric. Follow the money. That’s where the truth really lies.
There goes their tax money right down the outhouse.
That'll wake up the Democrats!
Did Dallas get a signed agreement with CCP China, India, Russia...?
If not all they are doing is punishing their population for something they have negligible control over.
Until we mercilessly ridicule anyone who makes a scientific claim while insisting men can get pregnant and gender is not genetically fixed at birth this idiocy will continue.
Good luck with that whole “food desert” thing.
Allowing open shoplifting and Burning, Looting, and Murder isn’t going to fix anything, but those folks will keep allowing those things, and wonder why grocery stores pull up stakes and leave for safer territory.
Everything is “unexpected” to them.
“Isn’t climate change irreversible by 2030? We’re all gonna drown when the icecaps melt!”
We already froze to death and starved and are all posting from beyond the grave:

Dang. I only wish it were their tax money, but the way the Federal > State > Local money pipeline is, it is probably your tax dollars and mine.
We’re all screwed by this global warming rubbish.
Hopefully the leftists will find something constructive to occupy their time—I propose a national Unicorn hunt!
“City leaders hope to reverse some of the existing damage.”
Deport all known demonKKKrats, liberals, leftists, socialists, marxists, communists, fascists and anarchists.
For those remaining... SPJNK.
They have been indoctrinating children and liberals for decades now with Global Warming hysteria.
You would think the ones down in Texas might think a little more critically about energy issues after the debacle last February.
But, No.
At the rate they’re going, Texas will soon be California.
The next huge government rip off: Climate change. Give us all your money and we will save the planet: How? ... We will let you in on our plan as soon as we concoct one.
