Ice Age Now by Duggan Flanakin 8/27/2020
It’s not climate change that’s racist, but those who use it to block energy development
Climate alarmists now proclaim that climate change is racist, that it affects minorities more than others. What hypocrisy. By this theory, the Sun, our galaxy and their Creator are racist, since they have driven climate change throughout history.
Racism has certainly been a factor in many decisions about land use, zoning, education and many other aspects of our lives. But this began long before Europeans “discovered†America. Tribalism, the most fundamental form of racism historically, has been around at least since the dawn of the Iron Age.
The new racism is a prime domain of environmental alarmists, and a direct outgrowth of centuries of patronizing colonialism. Many still believe today’s poor and indigenous people must be “guided†into a “green†tomorrow and not allowed use the tools that Western and other countries employed to grow, create wealth, improve living standards and remain free.
Many even seem okay that their “solutions†to “climate change†yield highly negative results for billions of people worldwide, whose lifestyles are far removed from the privileges of eco-elites – who don’t even enjoy the blessings of electricity, 24/7/365 or even at all.
Instead of recognizing their own role in sustaining energy poverty (and its resultant misery, disease and death), the alarmists berate the West for escaping generational poverty through technology. Penn State meteorologist Gregory Jenkins (who works for Dr. Michael Mann, co-creator of dangerous Mann-made climate change) has linked racism to climate change “because it dictates who benefits from activities that produce planet-warming gases and who suffers most from the consequences.â€
But their “solutions†always deny African and other poor families access to fossil fuel “activities†– and blessings – while burdening their own societies with heavy taxes and mandates that would curtail affordable energy and living standards for billions.
