Global heating: Study shows impact of 'climate racism' in US
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."

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:

Extreme heat kills more people per year than hurricanes, tornados, flooding, etc.

And much less than extreme cold.

No, of course racism does not drive the temperature.doubledog said:Quote:

The question is "does racism drive the temperature differences" or is it poverty and culture.
Nothing to do with white supremacy.TxTarpon said:
Yep.
All white supremacy here
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:

It is more expensive to move to cities with better climates. Systemic racism effects poverty, which prevents poor people from moving to better climates.

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.

It is much easier whining and hoping to get special treatment, playing the victim card, as well as trying to get paid than actually doing what is necessary to improve their lot in life. It also draws attention away from their own transgressions.annie88 said:
The left is both obsessed with race and racism on everything at the same time as well as constant victimization. What a horrible way to live your life.
Their lives are just unbelievably sad and petty.
It's really sick.

You don't know anything about me. I love my life. I'm not persuaded by arguments like this. I prefer facts backed up with sources, and I prefer scientific theories backed up with evidence.annie88 said:FTA 2001 said:

I'm sorry to hear that.
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.
Yes - climate changes, cause that's what climate does!FTA 2001 said:

Happy to explain. The rate at which our planet warmed and cooled previously was over thousands of years.sleepybeagle said:Yes - climate changes, cause that's what climate does!FTA 2001 said:

So... How do you account for the changes in climate in the past before all of your human produced "greenhouse" gas? Sorry but you can't.
Climate change = money laundering for the left.
Quote:
The current warming trend is different because it is clearly the result of human activities since the mid-1800s, and is proceeding at a rate not seen over many recent millennia. It is undeniable that human activities have produced the atmospheric gases that have trapped more of the Sun's energy in the Earth system. This extra energy has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land, and widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere have occurred.
No, the facts don't. They don't at all, you've again bought into the lies.Quote:

The facts and the science suggests that CO2 being pumped into our atmosphere is warming our planet.
