Green Academics Blame “Climate Injustice” for Energy Price Hardship

You couldn’t make this up – the very groups whose renewable energy advocacy helped create skyrocketing prices are now blaming the hardship they caused on “climate injustice”.

Climate change hits some of us much harder than others – but affected groups are fighting back

All around us, climate change is worsening existing disadvantage. In Australia, we need only look to low-income households hit harder by rising energy and fuel prices, and flood responses in northern New South Wales overlooking the needs of people with disability.

These are examples of “climate injustice”. In our research on climate change and social justice in Australia, we have found again and again that people already experiencing marginalisation are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

I am getting nauseous from green freaks using the term justice when speaking of weather.  It's like I learned in the Navy when you are "protected" by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, because there is no justice - - it's weather pure and simple.  Here in Michigan we have harsh winters and we have mild winters, neither of which has anything to do with "justice," it's weather pure and simple. :#@$%:
