The idea of “Environmental Justice” is now being elevated to science.

And Mother Gaia is now also a Neo-Marxist.

This does not bode well.

I thought that was going to be “Suspicious Minds.” I went to high school with Terry Stafford who recorded that, sounding so much like Elvis that Elvis covered the song himself. It was Terry’s only hit. He moved to LA and opened up a recording studio that went no where.

If they’re breathing in more pollution than what they create, it sounds like they are sucking in more air than the rest of us.

EVERY thinking black person must be COMPLETELY embarrassed when they read ridiculously pandering BS like this.

...exposed to fine particle pollution...
In urban areas, and near the border with Mexico, the particles have calibers, or come out of the end of glass pipes. Thanks mdittmar.

so pollution is tied to race. Who’d have known!

The carbon load of the welfare system probably isn’t being figured in either... I’d take all such claims with a pound of salt. Ghetto isn’t necessarily green.

Urban locales... this isn’t terribly surprising. Again what’s the carbon cost of supporting a welfare system, which is easier in rich urban areas than poor rural areas?

It’s another excuse for more thievery-I mean taxation-of whites. And anyway of course I don’t believe it. These are the same types who never shut their yaps berating us for pollution, while they refuse to acknowledge the very high rates of pollution by illegals and some other immigrant groups who act like national parks are their personal dumps.

African-Americans and Hispanics breathe in far more deadly air pollution than they are responsible for making

People who live in high density urban environments, aka CITIES, breath much higher concentrations of fine particle pollution. Race means nothing.

As a country, we have some of the cleanest air of all industrialized nations. Lower than Iceland, France, Norway, Ireland, Denmark, Switzerland, and plenty of other countries that look down their nose at us.

That, and all the nonsense about “gender”. The left should be ashamed to ever say another hypocritical word about people of religious faith being “science deniers”, but of course they have no shame.

In urban and rural areas you can have very old constructions with lead paint, asbestos and God only knows what else. And I have seen in Detroit neighborhoods littered with stacks of tires and burned out and crumbling houses, still with occupied homes.

Sounds like AP is making the argument that reparations to black folk should be in the form of windmills.I don’t think that is what they had in mind. The green they had in mind has little to do with the environment and much to do with filling their wallet
