The left is fond of trying to tie unrelated issues to gender, race, or sexual orientation. A recent example is Trump's description of some countries as "sh*tholes." His comment was considered racist even though everyone knows there are many nations where no one wants to live, or even visit. In this case, scoring the president for even daring to mention some nations are better than others set off a firestorm of false criticism.
So, it shouldn't surprise us that the NAACP has taken two entirely different issues and has twisted logic into a pretzel in order to connect them.
This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the NAACP wants man-made global warming to be seen as a civil rights issue, arguing King’s vision of a society free of racial injustice can’t be achieved without addressing warming.
“We see climate change as a civil rights issue,” Jacqueline Patterson, head of the NAACP’s environmental and climate justice program, said in an online radio spotfor the Yale Center for Environmental Connection.
Environmental activists have been increasingly framing global warming as a matter of “environmental justice,” since “minority and low-income populations are disproportionately affected by global warming,” Patterson told Yale’s online radio Climate Connections.
Traditionally, such concerns focused on traditional pollutants from factories or vehicles, but the NAACP is expanding it to carbon dioxide, which scientists blame for warming the Earth in recent decades.
The environmental movement has fretted in recent years that it’s not diverse enough, and groups, like 350.org, have tried to draw parallels between global warming and alleged police brutality that sparked riots in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014.

Useful idiots.
TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE! WE WIN!
There is no Global warming. That is a lie to get your stuff and dumb down our superior life style. It must be rebuked and destroyed, especially in our public schools.
Ping.
Dr. King would be appalled.
It’s freezing here ,can I has some of your Global Warming
The irony is that the heavy taxation of industry, regulation and anti-growth policies that comprise “Climate Change” policies hurt lower income minorities more than anyone else.
I just love how the laws of physics appear to be aimed directly against liberals.
Of course, stupidity brings its own special brand of rewards.
Oh, progressives, howz that Nobel Prize winning economist working out for you?
You know, the one who’s managed a 100% error rate for the past decade.
Now that’s just stupid.
The Progressive vernacular does not "twist logic." Progressive ideology does not allow "reason" and/or "logic" to gain a foothold in dialogue.
NAACP = Democrat Front Organizaton
Well, my NAAWP chapter of one, says they’re full of it.
Is there anything global warming can’t do?
When everything is race, nothing is race.
Black Lives Matter even more with frozen pipes bursting all over the place. Global warming is a hard sell these days. They aren't even coming out to buy scratch offs.
This is about the most dumb-ass damned thing I've ever heard.
Mission creep.
civil=black.
Exclusively.
Dat be racis’.
