Why Climate Change Affects Poor Neighborhoods The Most

[Reeses]

What are they planning?

They'll tell us but first we have to turn in all our guns.

[TheThirdRuffian]

How do they get around the fact that NASA satellite data has confirmed there has been NO warming for 216 months now (18 years).

[ViLaLuz]

It must be true. You know how trailer parks attract tornados.

"Scientists frequently tout new evidence that climate change will drive some of the most populated cities in the United States underwater [emphasis added]."

I haven't received any feedback on the following point. Given that the world population is increasing, since the human body is at least 50% water, shouldn't ocean levels actually be decreasing, or at least not rising as fast as global warming alarmists are claiming, since more and more water is being stored in more and more humans?

0bamaphones won’t work underwater. DUH.

[Organic Panic]

All those poor people with beachfron houses? Everytime I go to Kailua, La Jolla, or Malibu I feel so sorry for these poverty stricken beachside favalas.

Cities are poorer because they vote in Socialists as their leaders.

“Vanna, please sell the Left a clue!”

“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.”

You don't necessarily have to be an idiot to be "a researcher at Harvard", but apparently it was a real career enhancer for Joyce Klein Rosenthal.

Climate Change caused Oregon to lose in football last night. Thought I would think like they do. :D

[pluvmantelo]

Yes, I thought the new policy was that satirical pieces must be marked as such. Are people flouting it already?

[odds]

Ah the old climate change trick
