Climate change and inequality are locked in a perverse loop: Impoverished areas are home to pollutive NIMBY industries that release the gases that lead to more climate change, which in turn adversely affects these communities more than any other.
Before Peyton Gendron, 18, allegedly shot and killed 10 people in a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket on Saturday, he posted a 180-page screed with the clear intention of killing “as many Blacks as possible.” But lesser publicized has been the fact that Gendron identified himself as an “ecofascist,” meaning he thinks people of color are taking up too much space on the planet, thus ruining the environment — and degrading his race.
“Hurricanes don’t care if you’re rich, poor, white or black — but that doesn’t mean that every person is equally vulnerable to a storm.”
