Gina McCarthy, National Climate Adviser for President Biden, said climate change is now a racial justice issue. Of course she did..
In a video addressing the intersectionality of climate change posted over the weekend, McCarthy explained that the issue "exacerbates the challenges in the communities that have been left behind."
"It goes after the very same communities that pollution has held back and racism has held back," McCarthy said. "Climate justice is about equal rights."
McCarthy, who is from Massachusetts, led the Environmental Protection Agency under Barack Obama.
Biden has made it clear that addressing the climate crisis will be a focal point for his administration. He has already reversed some of former President Donald Trump’s actions, including Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization.
So the weather is a racial justice issue because it supposedly is responsible for a disproportionate number of black deaths. However, abortion clinics in black neighborhoods are just fine even though black women in the US get more of the total number of abortions annually than white women, and only make up 14% of the population.
One can only imagine what life would be like if 'the internet' or social platforms are deemed to be racially biased. Or breathing. Maybe that’s next.
