PHOENIX (AP) — … After experiencing global warming’s firsthand effects, U.S. Latinos are leading the way in activism around climate change, often drawing on traditions from their ancestral homelands.
“There has been a real national uprising in Latino activism in environmentalism in recent years,” said Juan Roberto Madrid, an environmental science and public health specialist based in Colorado for the national nonprofit GreenLatinos. “Climate change may be impacting everyone, but it is impacting Latinos more.”
U.S. Latinos often live in ignored, lower income neighborhoods that are degrees hotter than nearby areas because they have a higher population density and limited tree canopy. Hispanics are also disproportionately affected by chronic health conditions aggravated by extreme heat, like diabetes and heart and kidney disease.
Latino activists are now sounding the alarm about the risks of global warming for their neighborhoods and the world.
Recent research shows most Latinos in the U.S. consider climate change an important concern.
A Pew Research Center study released last fall showed about seven in 10 Latinos say climate change affects their communities at least some, while only 54% of non-Latinos said it affects their neighborhoods. The self-administered web survey of 13,749 respondents had a margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points.
Latino and other communities of color are disproportionately affected by climate change, such as more frequent, intense and longer heat waves in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs and other arid western communities.
A study by researchers from the University of California, Davis and the American University of Beirut concluded last year that poor and Latino neighborhoods in 20 metro regions around the Southwest endure temperatures several degrees higher on the hottest days, creating greater risks for heat-related illness.

Well yeah. Divert corn to up ethanol(useless effort) to 15% from 10%=less corn tortillas.
Translation: Latinos don’t care about Global Warming/Cooling but we want them to care about it
It's pure SMU.
That's 'Something Made Up', or 'Stuff Made Up' or 'Substance Made Up'. Create your own acronym for this baloney.
I know a LOT of Latinos. I was at a party with dozens of them last night. They all hate the Democrats and love Trump. Overall, they are some of the most patriotic people I know.
This is garbage, total b*llshit.
***Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs and other arid western communities. ***
Wah. It is the South West! it has always been hot! In 1985, it was so hot my truck vapor locked all the way from the Grand Canyon across to Texas.
Bourke, in his book ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK has some interesting things to say about the heat at Tuscon in the 1870s.
There is an OLD joke about a prospector who died in Tuscon and went to Hell. He begged the Devil to go back to Tuscon for his blankets because Hell was just too cold for him.

The Associated Press announced today it will significantly expand its climate coverage, creating a standalone desk that will enhance the global understanding of climate change and its impact across the world.
The initiative will infuse the global media landscape with a new stream of quality climate journalism through both AP content and in-depth training and collaboration directly with AP’s thousands of customers worldwide.
The news agency will also launch an AP StoryShare network for climate coverage, allowing news organizations to share their content with one another and in turn provide more robust coverage for their audiences.
The expansion is supported by several philanthropic organizations, including the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Quadrivium and The Rockefeller Foundation. AP retains complete editorial control of all content.
“Unbiased, fact-based journalism has never been more important or imperiled,” said Larry Kramer, president of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. “The Associated Press has, for over a century, played a crucial role reporting on the most pressing issues of our time, including climate change. The climate initiative will build on AP’s legacy of independent journalism and help millions better understand the impact of the climate crisis and counter climate-related misinformation.”

Soros groups must be funding this nonsense.
Question: When was the earth’s climate not in the process of changing?
Thanks, AP is as bad or worse than WasPos or NYT in all areas now, just awful.
The Latinos can climate activize all they want but if they don’t convince the Chinese and the (dot) Indians to follow suit, they’re just urinating in the wind.
Ah ah ah. I don’t see AssPress using the PC term “Latin-X.” Very unprogressive and intolerant !
Except this one:
Never heard a single latino ever complain about climate change
HAHAHAHAHA. This is some funny stuff written by an imbecile. “Latinos’ native lands.” Like Spain?
