In places closer to the equator that usually see only slight variations in temperature, the consequences of global warming are likely to be far more extreme. The outsize vulnerability of the world’s poorest people to damaging effects of climate change like droughts and floods is well established. It’s harder for people to overcome disasters in regions without the resources and infrastructure that are plentiful in wealthier parts of the world.
Now, a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters adds insult to injury. By mapping economic and social development to climate models’ “signal-to-noise ratio” - which compares normal local temperature fluctuation (noise) to overall increases to average local temperatures (signal) - the authors determined that the poorest populations on the planet will experience more perceptible climate change than the richest. In other words, in places with already fragile social and ecological systems, climate change won’t just be harder to deal with, it will actually be more noticeable, and worse.
Not to be outdone, climate researchers at Oxford University offered their own insults this week. Analyzing vehicle use in Scotland, they concluded that top-down efforts to transition society to electric vehicles and phase out vehicle emissions aren’t enough. Without radical changes to lifestyles and increased demand for less harmful transportation systems, the authors say, there’s no chance of hitting the targets set in the Paris climate agreement.

The we must correct this climate inequality............Everyone must move to Antarctica!................
Astonishingly, it will also disproportionately affect those parts of the world where LGBQ and other favored grievance groups are concentrated. This will simplify redistribution efforts.
“World to end tomorrow: Poor and minorities hardest hit”
You read my mind. These loons must believe that they can even “fix” the “disparity of outcome” in climate. Or at least spend (and grift) a lot of money pretending to try to.
Climate change is racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic!
In that case, I recommend that the poor stop breeding like rabbits.
The entire population of the Earth could live in Antarctica.........underground of course...........and be less than the population density of NYC.................
“In places closer to the equator that usually see only slight variations in temperature, the consequences of global warming are likely to be far more extreme. “
Gee, that is only exactly the opposite of what they said just a few years ago, where they said places near the equator would see nearly no change, and places of high latitude would see not higher highs, but higher lows.
The devastating effects of climate change have already melted the icebergs at the Equator.
Just send the leftists there. With all of their hot air, they could turn Antarctica into a tropical paradise.
The horse is dead liberals.
Tennessee’s Possum Holler Seaport....opening soon!!!
“Without radical changes to lifestyles”
I consume less energy than Al Gore. Therefore I need not change.
[Without radical changes to lifestyles and increased demand for less harmful transportation systems.]
Oh so its all on the elite class to change. Got it.

Claims of man made global warming have failed to come true because mmgw isn't happening.
Since they'll never admit they were wrong they have to introduce new ideas which mitigate past hype and exaggerations.
'MMGW is really really bad and we have to stop it right now but warming will be uneven. It won't affect everyone the same.'
It’d tip over.
It can’t. It’s already at the ‘bottom’!........................
Then it is Weather Change, not Climate Change.
