What if #climatechange and #racism are connected through a culture of violence?
Ayana Elizabeth Johnson makes a compelling argument about it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/03/im-black-climate-scientist-racism-derails-our-efforts-save-planet/
@gioypi Not surprising. they lean more democrat for racial equality reasons and therefore are exposed more to the climate change issue as part of the democrats platform.
@freemo Having minimum exposure to the policies of American parties, I wouldn't have guessed.
@gioypi Republicans are horrific on environment. Trump is the pro-coal president.
@freemo Oh yes, I know that 😶
@gioypi I'd kinda like to see this study broken down along class lines, for comparison. At the end of the day, the poor are going to suffer the worst consequences of climate change.
@Lwasserman I agree. Climate justice is an underrated issue.
A study suggests that hispanic and black people are more concerned about climate change in the USA...
