Climate change is a massive, complex, globe-spanning issue that affects every facet of our lives. And like most problems at its scale, it’s bound to affect the poor and people of color most significantly.
How can we address that in South Florida? This week, the issues are the environment and climate change, vital topics for residents who live at “ground zero” for sea-rise threats.
The most at-risk population are poor people. They have the least amount of resources to escape the effects of climate change, by buying products or services to make weathering the changes easier. There is also increasing concern about the concept of “climate gentrification” - low-income residents being pushed out of higher elevation zones in South Florida. But in a region booming with redevelopment and market demand that have rapidly turned once struggling neighborhoods into trendy areas, many factors could be at work, including climate concerns.
As flood insurance premiums rise and property values begin to be affected by sea rise, experts worry there will be less affordable neighborhoods for the region’s working class.
That will be a crisis “way before sea level rise hits,” said Florida International University Professor Hugh Gladwin, who studies climate gentrification in the area. “It’s like we’re losing what we need to keep going, which is a workforce that can stay here.”

“How can we address the effects of climate change on communities of color?”
Without having read the article, I would guess it involves giving lots and lots of money to the Community Leaders.
Aw shaddup you fool.
Sucka them in just like you do everthin’ else
Translation: How can we tie the left’s false religion to the left’s inherent racism?
The World Will End Tomorrow!
Women, children and minorities hardest hit.
Looks like we need to add “Climate Privilege” to the ever growing list of social crimes by whites.
THE STUPID - IT BURNS.
Shouldn’t we all be more concerned about rich white and Jewish communities? You know, the ones that own all those pretty beach front properties? Surely these would be the first to suffer.
Notwithstanding that this article is a pant load of crap, how many poor people live on beachfront or ocean side properties?
Doesn’t he mean “gay communities of color”?
it’s bound to affect the poor and people of color
These two statements contradict each other. A global condition affects every person on earth regardless of income or race.
The very question is designed to be part of the magician’s slight of hand.
But, I have some suggestions:
1) Go back to driving gas guzzling cars.
2) Put all of your garbage in one bin.
3) Call things by their correct names. For instance, do not say “climate change.” Instead, say “climate hoax.”
the elitists are in need to find an excuse to diminish the population size to control the masses that will be the servants of the elites.
control is what they seek.
