She argues that the root of climate change lies in historical colonial violence and ongoing exploitation, making it inherently racist.

In Under Alien Skies, Scribner illustrates how foreign soldiers' negative perceptions of the American environment merged with harsh wartime realities to elicit considerable physical, mental, and emotional anguish.
