This sure seems a bit racist to me
Last week’s heat wave was a miserable, deadly, wake-up call.
While the details continue to emerge and the human cost is still being tallied, we know that hundreds of people lost their lives in the Northwest during the heat wave, one that climate scientists say is a manifestation of climate change. In Oregon alone, the early count of heat deaths — which are likely to rise — exceeded the total from the last 20 years combined.
We all felt the impacts of the scorching heat, but it was not felt equally.
According to research published in Nature Communications, people of color are disproportionately exposed to urban heat. Landlocked areas with high amounts of concrete and low numbers of trees and shade are known as “heat islands.†The researchers found that in nearly all urban areas, the average person of color — regardless of income — lived in an area with higher heat island intensity.
Local research on the same phenomenon done by the city of Seattle and King County found that the differences between the hottest and coolest parts of comparable Seattle areas measured at the same time can differ by up to a shocking 23 degrees, due to disparities such as tree canopy and location of industrial areas.
Unsurprisingly, the areas with the hottest heat islands are also the areas where people of color are concentrated. They also correlate to areas with the highest environmental health disparities as well. My Rainier Beach neighborhood, for example, has the highest possible health disparity score of 10.
It is simply great that climate cultists always think that “communities of color”, meaning blacks, primarily, are always in more dire circumstances than anyone else, and need Government to fix everything. Of course, these CoC always seem to be stuck in crummy parts of Democratic Party run cities, like Seattle. And the solution is always the same government that stuck these people in these supposedly bad situations.
The interesting part here is that what is being discussed is not “global warming/climate change’, but the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI), whereby areas will be artificially hotter than others. Get outside Seattle into the suburbs and rural areas and the temperatures will go way down. Get into the crap parts of town and the temperature skyrockets. UHI.
Many of these disparities can be traced back to the legacy of housing segregation, neighborhood redlining and environmental racism, such as placing polluting businesses in communities of color. One study found that formerly redlined neighborhoods in nearly every city were hotter than those that were not redlined, according to NPR. Consequently, Scientific American reported that extreme heat and air pollution are a leading cause of death for communities of color.
Which Party was doing this? Which Party runs these cities?
Why can’t those poor Black families just move to the cooler suburbs or exurbs?
Do you think that Black Americans prefer to be poor or do you think they’re just too lazy and stupid to help themselves?
Mr Dowd wrote:
That’s a pretty good question, but, whatever their motivations, urban black Americans do not want to live amongst us evil honkies. They are trying to keep traditionally black neighborhoods from having whitey move in and, Heaven forfend! try to fix up the neighborhood.
In the City of Brotherly Love, the city planned a project to remove and replace sidewalks on and around 52nd Street, a heavily black business area, but the neighborhood opposed it specifically because it might bring more white families to the neighborhood.
Given their actual actions, yeah, they do seem to prefer to be poor! Or, at the very least, they seem to prefer to be poor and black surrounded by other people who are poor and black, as opposed to having a somewhat nicer neighborhood, but one that is more racially integrated.
Perhaps you can come up with a different reason for not wanting to see their own neighborhoods improved?
Let’s just ignore that big black elephant in the room—-70% illegitimacy rates and fatherless homes.
Maybe that’s why there is rampant crime, drugs and chaos in the black communities. And as usual, nobody is required to take personal responsibility for the chaos that ensues from the complete breakdown of the black family. This isn’t an oversimplification.
Or maybe because white privilege or some such shit.

Prager U Video – Are You Proud to Be an American?
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2021/07/prager-u-video-are-you-proud-to-be.html
Potholder 54 has judt posted a video debunking the hypnosis that covid was man made
Potholder was the infamous debunked who songlehandedly drove Teach’s most beloved Lord Monckton climate change denier into oblivion
Teach fo you remember your post naming an expert from Scripps Indtitute who thought covid was man made ? Probably not but if you watch the potholder video it might ring a bell
John,
If the COVID was natural, then why does it contain a tag on its DNA that is placed by labs. Look it up.
You get your sources on scientific information from someone named potholder 54? Perhaps you should do a little more investigating before you report on your version of the truth. The minute the DNA sequence of the virus was released by Australia dozens of scientists around the world reported it looked engineered only to be silenced by the media, state and whoever else threatened them. They all realized it was going to cost the science community money and grants if China could engineer a disease and then allow it to escape, even if by accident, from the lab. Knowing this the science community even to this day does not want to approach COVID-19 for obvious funding reasons. Careful what you say their Mr. Hairy. You do not have the facts and neither does your infamous potholder 54.
we know that hundreds of people lost their lives in the Northwest during the heat wave, one that
climate scientiststhose whose livelihood depends on grant money say is a manifestation of climate change.The population of Portland, Oregon, is 5.71% black, lower than the state and lower than the national average.
More, the black population of Portland are primarily newcomers, rather than people who have been locked in ‘ghettos’ for generations. Portland being very liberal in its orientation, how is it that ‘systemic racism’ forced all of those black immigrants to the city into such non-previously-existing ghettos?
Doogie,
It’s your allegation, you support it. Tell us more about SARS-CoV-2 “DNA”, LOL. (Hint: It’s a +ssRNA virus).
I’ve noticed the hypothesis that a furin cleavage site is present in the transcribed spike protein is “unnatural” and is “proof” of laboratory creation. Curiously, many other coronavirus RNA code for the same furin cleavage site. Why would the Chinese put this cleavage site in so many coronavirus genetic info?
If you are referring to me. Site you sources.
This report supported by the government posts this:
Conflict of interest statement
Competing interests
XX, P-YS, and VDM have filed a patent on the reverse genetic system and reporter SARS-CoV-2. Other authors declare no competing interests. M.S.D. is a consultant for Inbios, Vir Biotechnology, NGM Biopharmaceuticals, and on the Scientific Advisory Board of Moderna and Immunome. The Diamond laboratory has received unrelated funding support in sponsored research agreements from Moderna, Vir Biotechnology, and Emergent BioSolutions.
Notice event the government talks of funding as a reason for conflict of interest.

It is incumbent upon you to show how this virus jumped from animals to humans. I am citing papers written to show how this infection was proof of concept and left the lab either purposefully or more likely accidently.
Took me a bit to find this information as I remember reading it.
The genome RNA of a +ssRNA virus contains only the genes needed for the infectious cycle and is simultaneously a messenger RNA. Its packaging depends on several different segments, which is 88888888believed to be an adaptation to withstand mutations.888888888 Given the close relationship between the RNA and proteins, a mutation could interrupt the infectious cycle if the packaging relied on a limited number of genes.
The typical rna coronaviruses resist mutations, yet this covid-19 is mutating like an alcoholic visits a liquor store. The question is why and there are a lot of answers all of which confirm everyone’s suspicion that messing with the sequencing of the rna that deals with mutations.
Doogie was a good doctor. Much better I suspect than Hairy/Elwood. However I am not a doctor or a scientist. Just a tabulator of facts that contradict Pothead 54.
Put more simply, Covid-19 resembles the flu and the Delta variant resembles the common cold.

Fred,
No, our troll Jeff or Elwood is referring to me. He has yet to understand that kindle will correct a word without your knowledge. He would argue that japs were out for a nice Sunday flight on 12/7/41. The guy is not very bright.
But let me introduce you to our clown. He doxed himself several times. His original sign on name was Jeffery. We have the last name but he threatens to sue over its use, even though he gave it. A new all you have to do is read his infantile comments to get the action thrown out. But Jeff is a pharmacist with a PhD. In other words, worthless. He is an owner of a listed corporation but hates corporations, their lawful deductions, and capitalism. He calls use white supremacist and racist, but defines everyone by skin color and does not fell that brown people are smart enough to vote without help or identification. He hate fossil fuels but uses them constantly. He tries to appear intelligent at the same time he makes comments on a grade school level. You provided a nice list of primary sources, he provides Ladies Home Journal as a primary. Don’t get is a long comment with him as he does not understand and if it proves your point, he will just call you a name.
He is an owner of a listed corporation but hates corporations, their lawful deductions, and capitalism.
Correction: Rimjob claimed to be an owner. He also claimed to have joined the Army back in 1970 duting Vietnam ya know…
#Bwaha! Lolgf
drowningpuppies correction is noted. What Elwood the Red commenter tried to do was level the playing field between those of us here who actually were in Vietnam and himself. We call that Stolen Valor and it perfectly describes the empty morality of the person. Sometimes after replying to one of his hateful comments when I close my laptop I feel filthy. Just replying to a fool that full of hate makes me feel like an enabler.
Kye,
I have wondered what his purpose would be for coming here. About 15 years or more in the past I remember an announcement by a number of diverse people who decided that their purpose in life was to attack certain web sites who had correctly identified climate change as a hoax. Their method would be to make it extremely unpleasant for people to comment or for the web host to conduct business. I think Jeff is one of those superior individuals. But you do need a bath after corresponding with him, funny how some people are so repulsive.
Pups,
Are you sure about that. They had a picture of him and only a puke like Jeff could look like that.
So where would a curious person find the repulsive photo?
Asking for a friend.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Corporate internet accounts carry picture of board and universities have pictures of boards as well.
