According to yet another crackpot on the Left, if you do not agree with the disputed science that claims “Global Warming” is real, then you are a racist. Plain and simple, no in between, you don’t believe black lives matter.
To far left wing loon Naomi Klein, if climate change were actually affecting white people, then they’d be all for throwing money at it. Apparently she missed the meme that the federal government is wasting billions upon billions on this unsettled science and the majority of them are old white dudes.

From Truth Revolt:
Progressive conspiracy theorist Naomi Klein has come up with a new one: People who are skeptical of the climate change hypothesis don’t care about climate change because it will only damage countries where people of color live.

Writing in The Nation, Klein says:
What does #BlackLivesMatter, and the unshakable moral principle that it represents, have to do with climate change? Everything. Because we can be quite sure that if wealthy white Americans had been the ones left without food and water for days in a giant sports stadium after Hurricane Katrina, even George W. Bush would have gotten serious about climate change. Similarly, if Australia were at risk of disappearing, and not large parts of Bangladesh, Prime Minister Tony Abbott would be a lot less likely to publicly celebrate the burning of coal as “good for humanity,” as he did on the occasion of the opening of a vast new coal mine. And if my own city of Toronto were being battered, year after year, by historic typhoons demanding mass evacuations, and not Tacloban in the Philippines, we can also be sure that Canada would not have made building tar sands pipelines the centerpiece of its foreign policy.

Among most scientists, even the global-warming believers do not believe Katrina or last year’s major typhoon in the Philippines had anything to do with a change in climate.Klein adds:
If we refuse to speak frankly about the intersection of race and climate change, we can be sure that racism will continue to inform how the governments of industrialized countries respond to this existential crisis. It will manifest in the continued refusal to provide serious climate financing to poor countries so they can protect themselves from heavy weather. It will manifest in the fortressing of wealthy continents as they attempt to lock out the growing numbers of people whose homes will become unlivable.
As of December 1, the Earth hadn’t warmed in 18 years and two months. Droughts have not increased, the Antarctic Sea Ice is at record levels and the Arctic ice cap has seen record growth. Global sea ice area has been averaging above normal for the past two years.

This shouldn’t come as a surpise, back in 2013 ManBearPig aka Al Gore called those who were skeptical of man-made climate change equivalent to racist, homophobes, alcoholics and smokers. Whatever the hell that means.
From Breitbart:
In an interview yesterday with Ezra Klein, Al Gore compared the fight to have his “climate change” theories accepted to the civil rights, apartheid, and gay rights struggles.

Well, I think the most important part of it is winning the conversation. I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South. I remember a time when one of my friends made a racist joke and another said, hey man, we don’t go for that anymore. The same thing happened on apartheid. The same thing happened on the nuclear arms race with the freeze movement. The same thing happened in an earlier era with abolition. A few months ago, I saw an article about two gay men standing in line for pizza and some homophobe made an ugly comment about them holding hands and everyone else in line told them to shut up. We’re winning that conversation.
Gore went on to explain that “climate change” has not caught on because “it’s like a family with an alcoholic father who flies into a rage every time a subject is mentioned and so everybody avoids the elephant in the room to keep the peace.”
You’re not a racist if you tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to spending trillions of dollars on something Mother Earth has been doing since her creation – changing climate.
