A recent study from the Journal of Climate Change and Health indicates climate change may widen preexisting health disparities in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer populations.
"Can’t Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines” is a Queers 4 Climate Justice documentary that premiered last weekend at the Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival. It illustrates those disparities and more — and the work being done to counteract them.
The documentary follows the production team on a road trip across Florida to meet with 14 LGBTQ+ artists, organizers and activists.
“A lot of queer and trans people are already vulnerable and made vulnerable by state policies, by economic disenfranchisement, all of that,” said Yarrow Koning, co-director of the film.
"It can be much more difficult for these communities who are already vulnerable to be able to cope with the shocks that come up in the case of hurricanes, or slower disasters, like sea level rise."
Koning said the film explores this issue — and showcases queer Floridians who are fighting for climate justice.
“So much of the frontline organizers who are doing mutual aid response, and helping communities cope with climate change and cope with natural disasters, are made up of queer and trans folks,” Koning said.
They said while the film absolutely touches on queer and trans trauma in the wake of anti-LGBTQ+ bills proposed and passed into law in Florida, they also highlight stories of queer and trans joy, queer and trans dreams for liberation, and queer and trans resistance movements.
“There's a really beautiful scene in there that's just like queer and trans people at the beach in Miami, and just enjoying their lives. And I think that's just as important to the film as some of our heavy political analysis is.”
“Can’t Stop Change” is fiscally sponsored by the Southern Documentary Fund.
....and support for "Palestine"
Intersectionality: the fake “science” on why all the leftist causes should support each other

Climate: The Movie (The Cold Hard Truth)
written and directed by Martin Durkin
All collectivist causes lead to one laser dot: absolute state power.
Typical drivel from the freaks at NPR and PBS.
How in the heck can a bunch of queers affect fake climate change?
What if “climate change” causes higher rates of transgenderism and “queerness?”

Lots of data from some very qualified climate scientists. The first 22 minutes is about the temperature records. At the 22:25 minute mark they address the correlation between CO2 and temperature.
The 31:56 minute mark addresses nature (clouds, the sun, and stars and the galaxy, something I NEVER heard before), extreme weather is addressed at 37:05 minutes, The climate Bandwagon at 47:15, the Politics of Climate at 55:22, Climate Vs Freedom at 1:03:29, Climate vs The People at 1:07:37, Climate vs the Poor at 1:10:50.
Because the issue is never the issue. You know the drill.
