As Houston slowly struggles to recover after Hurricane Beryl left millions without power, experts say it's time to rethink how cities are preparing for and responding to weather disasters.

It is not uncommon these days to see water gushing out of City of Houston pipes uncontrollably.

After more than 50 hours of fighting the massive chemical fire that broke out at the Shell Chemical Plant in Deer Park, officials said the fire was finally extinguished Sunday night.

Mother nature is one of the most powerful allies in helping reduce and store carbon-dioxide emissions.

Houston Newsmakers: Ballot Integrity or suppression?

“It’s been really, really hard,” said Murray, who was a victim of Harvey. Back at Laguna Harbor, the feds have earmarked dollars for another building project, a new marina. “I’m tired of you spending money on rich people, let’s spend it on those who need money,” said the Junior U.S. On page 66 of last year’s report, Paul highlights Laguna Harbor.

I’m not familiar with this particular superfund site, but I have requested a briefing on it by the EPA.”

Grasslands, like this one in Cochran County, store most of their carbon underground, which means it is not released back into the atmosphere when grasslands burn. As part of photosynthesis, plants pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their stems, leaves and roots. Unlike trees, grasslands store most of their carbon underground, in their roots and the soil. Funding is available to landowners for carbon stored in forests, such as Californias cap-and-trade market, and the same should be done for soil, Blackburn said. The value of pristine grassland in the fight against climate change is not just its ability to store carbon, Blackburn said.
