Climate change and air pollution have long proven detrimental to the nation as a whole and to people of color more specifically. The only difference is that today, reports like this provide concrete evidence of how these communities endure disproportionately higher rates of negative health effects. While both California and the Biden admin. are working to mitigate these risks at the state and national levels, more must be done to transition the US away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy sources.
While liberal elites pat themselves on the back for fighting racism and climate change simultaneously, they, of course, will be free from the negative consequences their policies will have on the poor — particularly people of color. Investing in natural gas and nuclear energy could also help the US reach its 90% renewable electric grid goal while saving people money, but the left is more concerned with pursuing its power-based ideology. When these policies fail, they will blame racism again and continue gaslighting Americans into voting Democrat.
