Global heating: Study shows impact of 'climate racism' in US
Heat is racists, who would have known.
Conflating complex problems isn't an argument, it is a narrative. You are literally regurgitating narrative.FTA 2001 said:You are half correct. The limited supply of good weather cities is overpowered by the demand to live there, which makes those cities expensive to live in.BadMoonRisin said:That's not systemic racism. What you have described is supply and demand.FTA 2001 said:No, of course racism does not drive the temperature.doubledog said:Quote:
"The temperature differences ... between lower-income neighborhoods, neighborhoods of color and their wealthier, whiter counterparts have pretty severe consequences,"
The question is "does racism drive the temperature differences" or is it poverty and culture.
It is more expensive to move to cities with better climates. Systemic racism effects poverty, which prevents poor people from moving to better climates.
Some Americans face uphill battles to get out of high poverty, high crime cities with bad weather through no fault of their own except they were born in high poverty, high crime cities with bad weather.
The piece you are missing is that minorities are far more likely to be born in high poverty, high crime cities with terrible weather.
A minority born in Jackson, MS is going to have a much harder time pulling themselves up by their bootstraps compared to a minority born in San Diego, CA.
So humans can cause "climate change" but human behavior is never to blame for poverty.FTA 2001 said:

This really isn't that difficult to understand. The states/cities that are being more effected by heat waves are more likely to be states/cities with a higher than average poverty rate. Poverty effects minorities at a higher rate.Quote:
"The temperature differences ... between lower-income neighborhoods, neighborhoods of color and their wealthier, whiter counterparts have pretty severe consequences," said Cate Mingoya-LaFortune of Groundwork USA, an environmental justice organization. "There are these really big consequences like death. ... But there's also ambient misery."
Extreme heat kills more people per year than hurricanes, tornados, flooding, etc.
And much less than extreme cold.Quote:
Extreme heat is the number-one weather-related cause of death in the U.S.

Are you really incapable of understanding the nuanced point that the authors of this article are making? Do you really believe that they are stating that heat is racist?
How sad.

You're worrying about something that doesn't exist.
You're spending your life in fear of something that will not happen that basically boils down to control and money. They want to control what you eat, when you drive. Where are you go. They want you dependent on the government.
This is nothing new they've been harping on this for decades, and none of their predictions have come true, nor will they.
You don't even question that Obama and Nancy Pelosi have both bought several beachfront properties. Now ask yourself, if they truly believe in climate change, why would they spend millions doing this? The answer is they wouldn't. They know it's a scam. Rules for the, not for me.
People like Steven Spielberg and Leo DiCaprio, riding around on their private jets, omitting more carbon in one plane ride, than someone will in their entire life with their car.
Not only are the Arctic caps not melting. They're actually thriving. Do a little research on Al Gore and see what a ConMan he is. And when his deadlines past, no one says anything they just reset them.
Go look at Plymouth rock, same exact, sea level edit for over 400 years. Those G2 summit photos they took last year? Look at the same photo from the 1920s, the vegetation, the seawall levels all the same. And those are just too off the top of my head.
The "green people" live in a fantasy land. They think that electric cars are going to be feasible for everyone, yet California can't even keep their electric afloat. But that's the rub. The ones in charge know it isn't feasible. Again it's about control.
There's nothing wrong with fossil fuels, they're not hurting the earth, they're from the earth.
You live your life the way you want to but you'll see in 10 to 20 years with nothing has happened. How did you were. At least I hope you will, then you'll realize how much of your life you've wasted on nothing. Some people come to see the light others are just mired in wanting to be upset and feel like victims.
Is it good to pollute less and keep trash out of our oceans and our forests? Sure no one saying don't try to make air quality in stuff better, but this idea that we're on some kind of timeline and your lifetime. Anything will happen to the Earth is pure fantasy.
Live your life, be happy and quit worrying about things you can't control.
The facts and the science suggests that CO2 being pumped into our atmosphere is warming our planet.
Are you saying that I am misrepresenting what NASA is saying, or are you saying that NASA is misrepresenting the science?MouthBQ98 said:
This is a misrepresentation of information. As you go into the past and leave the smear of precision instruments, you use climate analogs that are less precise and therefore subject to smoothing of short term variability within long term trends.
The climate very well could be more volatile in is rates of change than we appreciate, and we need to not confuse our short term precision of the current increases with the necessarily less precise longer term and older data.
Also, there is no true global climate. There is global variation or variability within general trends but any one region may become warmer or cooler based off the changes in greenhouse gas concentrations and other factors affecting climate.
We are in an interglacial warning period so some component of the warming is non-human. That trend will reverse in several thousand years, at which time our descendants might appreciate a higher level of atmospheric CO2 as the climate cools considerably. We are currently still close to geological all time lows in CO2 levels, so the planet can likely easily manage significantly higher levels without any major effects, as it has for most of the geological past of complex terrestrial ecosystems. The only concern is the rate of change but that may not be a concern to humans from a survival standpoint as much as an aesthetics standpoint.
Only because the overlords you worship make it that way.FTA 2001 said:Nuclear Power plants costs $10 billion and take 10+ years to build.

If climate change was the result of humans, climate activists and politicians would be pushing for nuclear power. They're not because the grift is in wind/solar. All you need to do is follow the money and look at the carbon footprint of the 1%ers. They don't actually believe it, it's a scare tactic to get you to vote "D" for massive spending that is actually crushing the morons who think it's real and reversible
There are lots of climate scientists that are pro-nuclear, especially next gen nuclear. We need government investment in nuclear and that is where politicians disagree because nuclear is politically unpopular. No body wants a nuclear plant in their congressional district.
