The Environmental Protection Agencys proposed global warming regulations arent just about stemming global temperature rises according to agencys chief, they are also about justice for communities of color.
Carbon pollution standards are an issue of justice, said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy in a teleconference call with environmental activists. If we want to protect communities of color, we need to protect them from climate change.
McCarthy is referring to the EPAs proposed rule that would limit carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants. The agency says the rule will not only help fight global warming, but will also improve public health as coal-fired power plants are shuttered. McCarthy, however, put special emphasis on how the rule would reduce asthma rates, which affect African-American children.

I’m sooo glad Romney isn’t the POTUS. He would be sooo much worse.
They really can inject RACE in to ANYTHING.
This is definitely “Barf Alert” category for such thinking from the progressive/communist all controlling EPA.
Step one in making climate skepticism a hate crime.
This person needs to be removed from office.
Immediately.
And how does raising the prices of electricity and gasoline help “communities of color”?
You wonder if they put out these utterly ridiculous, inane ideas just to push the envelope, just to test the waters and see just how completely asinine they can be.
Actually, no, I don’t wonder. I know they do.

And how much “justice for communites of color” will happen when the power plants close and the cost of electicity goes so high that those communities and communities of ‘non-color’ can’t afford it. Especially those who need electric heat. And folk freeze to death in the winter or die from heat stroke (can’t afford air conditioning) in the summer
This open warfare on our culture and free economic system just gets bolder and bolder.
Just when one thinks that the bottom IQ has been identified.....
This is from The Onion, right?
You're right. If Romney was prez, this article would have come out and the GOP woulda been falling all over themselves to pass legislation to prove they are concerned about globull warming and communities of color. That's one reason the GOP loses on almost every issue - they let the left frame the argument, and spend the rest of the time playing defense. Not a winning strategy. Then again, if anyone can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it's the GOP.
Regrettably, it is not.
Demonstrating once again that environmentalism is a political movement.
Hey, at least we'll all be equal...equally poor and without power. Now that's justice. /sarc
It will also expand their bureaucratic fiefdom. That translates into MORE MONEY (and power)!
This is just plain old pagan animist idolatry.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
