The classic portrayal of climate change is one of a great equalizer, a force that knows no color, creed or class. The rising seas will swallow us all, and if crops can't be harvested, none of us will eat. But a poll found that the public is more savvy than this story would have you believe.
A report by the Public Religion Research Institute and the American Academy of Religion found that race is a consistent predictor both of people's concern toward climate change and inclination to act on it, which suggests members of the public sense that the harms of climate change will be meted out disproportionately based on social status.
A link between race, climate and safety: While there is a global scientific consensus on the phenomenon of man-made climate change, the public varies quite a bit on the threat posed by this reality. Race is a useful demographic variable for explaining these differences.
According to the report, more than 7 in 10 Hispanic Americans and nearly 6 in 10 black Americans are very or somewhat concerned about the impact of climate change. By contrast, less than half of white Americans share this sentiment:

“White” is a colour (although it’s not actually a skin colour).
“African” is a geographic term.
“Hispanic” is a language-based classification.
For the structure to be parallel; the choice of labels should be:
1. White, Black, or Brown Americans.
2. European, African, or Latin-American Americans (or S. American Americans, or Iberian-Americans — none of the alternatives are very satisfactory).
3. English-speaking Americans, English-speaking Americans whose ancestors spoke an African language, spoken south of the Sahara desert; or Spanish (and sometimes Portuguese) speaking Americans.
Funny how asian Americans are not broken out
All you have here is a correlation with poor education
The chart clearly indicates the ignorance of hispanics and blacks.
“Hispanic” is a language-based classification.”
Except when they don’t/can’t speak Spanish, like many of the illegals who come across our southern border or public figures like Ted Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba.
Thus further reinforcing the joke that is the term “Hispanic”.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
