Why is that a problem? Some of the best science draws on hospital databases, and the rule would require the release of patients’ names, diagnoses, and the like. This would be a total violation of privacy and confidentiality.</p> <p><strong>That means we lose the right to learn from the very studies that allow scientists to draw significant conclusions about environmental threats to health.</strong></p> <p><strong>Can you take an extra step to help block this awful rule?</strong> Join PSR in speaking out at the EPA’s hearing on this topic, <span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">July 17</span></span> in Washington, DC.

This facility would be the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in Washington, threaten air and water quality, and pollute to the equivalent of 1.2 million cars.</p> <p>A new Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) on the project misses many likely impacts and the true costs of this project.

In response, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this crisis—from Alaska to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, via the Amazon rainforest—in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice.</p> <p>In <em>The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption</em> , we follow Jamail as he scales Denali, the highest peak in North America, dives in the warm crystal waters of the Pacific only to find ghostly coral reefs, and explores the tundra of St. Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its melting glaciers. Accompanied by climate scientists and people whose families have fished, farmed, and lived in the areas he visits for centuries, Jamail begins to accept the fact that Earth, most likely, is in a hospice situation. Ironically, this allows him to renew his passion for the planet’s wild places, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to before.</p> <p>Like no other book, <em>The End of Ice</em> offers a firsthand chronicle—including photographs throughout of Jamail on his journey across the world—of the catastrophic reality of our situation and the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable, fragile planet while we still can</p> <p><strong>Dahr Jamail</strong>, a <em>Truthout</em> staff reporter, is the author of <em>Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq</em>. Jamail has reported from the Middle East over the last ten years, and he has won the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism.</p> <p><strong>This event will be held at The Summit event space</strong> as part of Town Hall’s Inside/Out program.</p> <p><strong>PROGRAM INFO</strong><br /> Date and Time: Tue, 3/26/2019, 7:30 PM (doors at 6:30 PM)<br /> Presented by: Town Hall Seattle, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility<br /> Location: The Summit on Pike (420 E Pike St, Seattle, WA 98102)<br /> Bookseller: Third Place Books<br /> Publisher: The New Press<br /> Ticket Price: $5</p> <p><a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://townhallseattle.org/event/dahr-jamail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy tickets here</a></p> <p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://townhallseattle.org/event/dahr-jamail/">https://townhallseattle.org/event/dahr-jamail/</a>.</p>America/New_York2019-03-26T19:30:00America/New_York2019-03-26T21:00:00en-USWashingtonhttps://www.wpsr.org/wpsr-events/2019/3/26/the-end-of-ice-with-dahr-jamailSeattle - The Summit on Pike @ 420 E Pike St Seattle, WA 981020https://www.psr.org/blog/event/the-end-of-ice-with-dahr-jamail/externalthumbnail;https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-end-of-ice.jpg;200;301,medium;https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-end-of-ice.jpg;200;301,large;https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-end-of-ice.jpg;200;301,full;https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-end-of-ice.jpg;200;301en-USclimate change,environment &amp; health$5https://townhallseattle.org/event/dahr-jamail/ai1ec-3749@www.psr.org2021-07-03T20:24:37ZScreening and Discussion: “Idle Threat”<input class="fooboxshare_post_id" type="hidden" value="2"/><p>Join Washington PSR for a screening of “Idle Threat,” a film exploring the climate and health impacts of vehicle emissions.

At <strong>12:30 pm</strong>, we will march to the offices of legislative leaders to demand greater action on climate justice.</p> <p>BlackRock manages over $6 trillion in investments and has stated that pro-climate investments are among its top 5 priorities, although in reality, the firm invests heavily in anti-planet, anti-justice industries. It is the largest investor in the world in coal exploration and infrastructure, the largest contributor to the deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest, and one of the largest investors in oil and gas production. BlackRock has been accused repeatedly of “greenwashing” by speaking in broad terms of building a better world and making token gestures, while putting their vast resources at the disposal of those very industries which are actively destroying the planet. In addition, BlackRock is a huge investor in the private prison industry which is currently allying with the Trump Administration to cage children and other migrants at our southern border, and to incarcerate people of color at hugely disproportionate rates.</p> <p>We join our allies in demanding that BlackRock divest from all industries that perpetuate and accelerate our climate crisis, that they push themselves and their clients to transition to a Green New Deal economy that builds a sustainable solution for our planetary crisis. We call on Blackrock to take a leading role in pushing the entire financial and industrial sectors to comply with international climate agreements like the Paris Accord. We also demand that BlackRock divest entirely from the private prison industry.</p>America/New_York2019-12-06T09:30:00en-USCaliforniaaction@sfbaypsr.orgSan Francisco, CA - BlackRock Headquarters @ 400 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA0https://www.psr.org/blog/event/climate-strike-at-blackrock-investment/freeen-USclimate change,environment &amp; health1ai1ec-5444@www.psr.org2021-07-03T20:24:37ZHealth in a Changing Climate: A Symposium for Health Professionals<input class="fooboxshare_post_id" type="hidden" value="2"/><p><strong><a href="https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/climate-health-symposium.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-5445 size-medium" src="https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/climate-health-symposium-232x300.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="300" srcset="https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/climate-health-symposium-232x300.jpg 232w, https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/climate-health-symposium.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px" /></a>Join Washington PSR for a climate and health symposium at Virginia Mason </strong>on December 7th.

This webinar will examine how these important issues and concerns intersect and compound each other—often with devastating consequences for communities of color. We look forward to learning from Hop Hopkins’ experience, expertise, and call for a more holistic and integrative approach to addressing the host of challenges facing Black and Brown people. Our hope is that after viewing this webinar, participants will leave with a renewed sense of urgency and more determination to be strong advocates and allies for hard-hit and marginalized communities.</p> <h5> PARTICIPANTS</h5> <p>Dr. Linda Rae Murray has been a voice for social justice and health as a basic human right for over 50 years.
