Scientists frequently tout new evidence that climate change will drive some of the most populated cities in the United States underwater. New York, Boston and Miami are all at risk. But the impact of climate change varies even within cities, putting residents of poor neighborhoods at greatest risk of suffering from heat-related ailments, researchers say.

“Cities tend to be warmer, but it’s spatially variable within cities,” says Joyce Klein Rosenthal, a researcher at Harvard who published a recent study on the impact of climate change in cities. “Generally, higher poverty neighborhoods are warmer and wealthier neighborhoods are cooler.”

They’re not stupid at all.

The stupid ones are those who believe them.

Incredible isn’t it. Wide open borders with terrorists swarming through, thousands of people from Ebola infected countries swarming in, Iran building nukes, terrorists taking over the middle east, and these idiots are focused on global warming.

“Generally, higher poverty neighborhoods are warmer and wealthier neighborhoods are cooler.”

So, poorer neighborhoods in Miami are going to experience faster glacier melt than the rich neighborhoods which have lots of air conditioning?

I guess that to a liberal this logic makes perfect sense.

Global Warming causes poor cities? Is there nothing it can’t do?

I may be on the verge of changing my mind on man-made global warming climate change after witnessing the effect it seems to have on liberal minds.

The warmunists (like that term) are too predictable. They have their phony protest about phony climate change, and now their apparatchiks in the media dutifully churn out dimwitted articles like this one to try to scaremonger people into believing this garbage. Too, too predictable.

Nothing's actually happening about global warming, but everyday there's 12-20 articles about what could/might happen some day sooner or later.

What are they planning?

Even the word “evidence” has now been endowed with a new definition, in pursuit of controlling our daily lives.
