Is climate change racist?

We can’t win the fight against climate chaos without dealing with racism.
The people most affected by the climate crisis are also much less likely to have contributed to the problem in the first place.
Watch this video to find out why.

    @@miarosko9362 ​ It's not so much about that. Yes location has an important part (north / south countries) but it's also talking about countries who are already developed and other who are still developing, like China. That's what the Rio Conference of 1992 is making for : the right to develop. And in order to do it, countries need to use the CO2 (like China), just as other countries did before (developed countries like the US, France or Germany (just to name few) did it during the industrial Revolution). The subject here is not about the ideology on a specific country, but China is still suffering on extrem poverty. And in order to eradicate poverty, countries need to use CO2 (scientific causality between the use of CO2 and the development in a country).

    Both. Atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are a byproduct of burning fossil fuels (and practically everything else). A pollutant is too much of something, and right now there's 50% more CO2 in the atmosphere than there was during the 11,000-year development of agriculture (and hence our food security). And that excess CO2 is causing the global warming that is leading to all sorts of extreme weather events that are threatening agriculture.

    Trade and government policies are racist as is their failure to tackle the climate and ecological emergency. The impacts of the climate and ecological crises and other social and health impacts are predominantly down to essentially racist policies that do not take a long term view and do not have sustainable development goals included in them up the supply chain. I get the argument that climate change is 'racist' but I don't like how it distances government and industry from the problem. Lets put it another way: A lack of effective action on the climate and ecological emergency and environmental and social problems is inherently racist and is essentially a form of economic and racial apartheid.

    I agree with the premise that climate change effects people from poor economic backgrounds more than it does those from 'wealthy' backgrounds; even though it's the wealthy that tend to cause the pollution. However, I strongly disagree with your approach to this discussion. It's not about race and it's not about ethnicity, it's about your socio-economic background. By making it about race and gender, you're alienating so many people including myself.

    Why? Don't you have a race and a gender? One would only be ”alienated” from climate action if they didn't care about the climate in the first place. But I have a reason to be involved in climate action for any human who wishes to raise the next generation (even if they're racist): It's been known that higher concentrations of carbon dioxide (the main greenhouse gas produced by human activity) not only accelerates climate change, but is itself a toxin. It's been found that even very slightly higher-than-normal levels of CO2 (on the scale of parts per million, so something like 0.0001%-0.001% increase) can cause and have caused people to become ill and have impaired cognitive abilities. In layman's terms, the main cause of climate change is also directly causing people to be more ill and straight up dumber. Carbon dioxide poisoning during pregnancy can also lead to predispositions to neurodevelopmental issues that amplify the effects stated above. Human intelligence as a whole will take a step backwards.

    I strongly recommend you read my first reply before this one, where I dive into the details in the problems of your comment. It is not meant to be an attack on you, but maybe I could provide a perspective you hadn't considered. I agree with you that socioeconomic background instead of strictly race and gender is technically the deciding factor in how catastrophic climate change can be to a given person. But think about this: what kind of socioeconomic norm is created by colonialism and patriarchy? You probably already know that the answer is a racist and sexist one. Combine this logic with the actual fact that colonialism and patriarchy did (and some might say still do) exist for a long time, which produces lasting effects as long as justice isn't served. Then, you can see that socioeconomic background is unfortunately linked (not 100%, but statistically significant) with race and gender. That is why.

    BAME's are exposed to higher levels of air pollution in the UK because the vast majority live in cities - you know, like our capital that's now 40& non-White - all these claims are nonsense and only go to further marginalise indigenous people of the UK. This constant reference to the alleged crimes of our forefathers being the reason for all these so-called inequities is an absolute lie. Furthermore colonialism was a measurable net benefit to the colonised - raising life expectancy, raising standards of living, building infrastructure and sharing knowledge. It was the indigenous people of the UK that ended chattel slavery. You're welcome.
