Perhaps the six authors at The Conversation have noticed something about the climate cult push?
The fight against the climate crisis must not increase inequalities
As the impact of climate change on communities increases, researchers are concerned about growing inequalities.
The most recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stresses the importance of one aspect that is too often neglected by local action on climate change: considering the question of inequalities.
Studies show that the people, communities and groups that are the most affected by climate change are generally those who have contributed the least to the current climate crisis. Marginalized people and communities — for example, those living in poverty, racialized persons or persons with disabilities — find they have to cope with interlinked compound crises that amplify their distress and precariousness.
These groups and communities are developing initiatives to increase climate justice at the local level and redirect priorities for public action. For example, they are promoting concerted climate action around issues such as equity, self-determination, resilience, poverty reduction and well-being.
This is all cute and stuff, but, the reality is that the climate initiatives, rules, and laws from the climate Elites tend to harm the working class and middle classes negatively the most. And, really, those in 3rd world countries who aren’t even working class. Like kids forced to dig lithium for EVs and solar panels. The Elites do not worry about the ever increasing cost of living. Cost of food, energy, housing. They will continue to drive around in their fossil fueled limos/luxury SUVs, fly private jets, head off to luxury vacations, and government won’t be taking their freedom and life choices away.
Research shows that local climate action policies that ignore different forms of inequality tend to exacerbate the harms experienced by marginalized communities. In some cases these policies even have the effect of delaying climate gains.
This issue is at the heart of our research. We are involved in the Canada Research Chair in Urban Climate Action, Urban Planning for Climate Change and the Ecological Transition. We have also published various studies and articles on this issue, which we consider a crucial one.
It is vital to ensure that any approach to climate action take into account issues of equity and justice, in order to prevent the fight against the climate crisis from becoming a greater social crisis within marginalized communities.
Does this sound like science or politics/government policy?
