I was listening to Gina McCarthy on NPR this evening describing the new CO2 regs. She said that “carbon emissions hurt people of color first”
What she probably meant is that higher electricity prices due to Obama’s regulations will hit poor people first.
Q: How do you make all people richer?
A: Supply cheap energy.
Q: How do make all people poorer?
A: Make energy expensive.
It is about the agenda, not the environment.
+1
Wealthy people aren’t really harmed by the higher costs. If they have to they’ll build private power plants for themselves. Everyone else however has less time to stop the wealthy from doing what they want to do to everyone else.
Brought to you by the Big Government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite,
Wow! really drinking the kool-ade aren’t you! What you wrote has no meaning… seems you have bought into the “us and them” mantra like all good uneducated liberals!
Like buying a Bentley, if you have to ask the price you can’t afford to run it (in the UK anyway).
Agree with Truthseeker, with an addition:
Q:How do you get rid of poor people fast?
A: Make energy so expensive, they can’t pump water.

Andy, there’s a lot of propaganda on that image. I don’t know if you noticed, but it quotes “The Pacific Institute” – aka water hysteria central – founded by Forgery expert and con man Peter Gleick.
There are all the typical eco-psycho-progressive-koo-koo mantras on that image:
1. US is big consumer – bad bad bad
2. The Netherlanders are angels.
3. Cows are bad. Don’t eat them.
4. Consumption is bad, don’t consume anything!
5. Apocalypse is just around the corner! Really!
For those living in, say, Arizona or Northern Texas, they definitely need a plan of conservation. Every region needs to plan for their particular climate/needs. I’m living in the NW. Every time it rains, which is very often, you can watch trillions of gallons of water just wash out to sea. I could live all year on the water that runs off the roof of my house.
The “world water crisis” Gleickster is trying to sell isn’t real. There will be some regional crises. Too bad for India. But if the world ran dry, I’ll still be trying to drain excess water off my property.
Gleick is so “brilliant” he’s living in California, and has apparently never noticed the Pacific Ocean.
Now, your point about energy starvation, yes, I agree. Another Progressive control mechanism. A friend of mine from vietnam said the communists controlled everyone by controlling the food. You don’t cooperate, you don’t eat.
‘The “world water crisis” Gleickster is trying to sell isn’t real.’
Because water is local.
If you have Access to cheap Energy then the water issue goes away.
…While previous droughts have been accompanied by impassioned public service advertisements to conserve, this time around it has been greeted with a shrug — Since 2005, Israel has opened four desalination plants, with a fifth set to go online later this year. Roughly 35 percent of Israel’s drinking-quality water now comes from desalination. That number is expected to exceed 40 percent by next year and hit 70 percent in 2050….
With energy you can even pump that water from the ocean to interior reservoirs if needed.
I don’t think it’s about agenda. I believe it’s stupid is as stupid does.
I agree.
More likely than not the present generation of lefties, many of whom are capable of no more than a debased form of what is by now a failed line of thought, are just repeating standard formulas, in a crude attempt to elicit rote responses.
Though, on the other hand, modern environmentalism is perverse enough to in some sense want to make everyone poorer. To pay for our collective sins, of course.
Q: How do you get a big increase in burning wood for heat and cooking?
A: Make energy more expensive.
Steven will you stop picking on Obama … he is the best black President the United States has ever had!
He’s not a black president, His mother was white and his father was black.
That makes him 50/50. http://freedictionary.org/?Query=mulatto
Obviously not black enough for you! It was a bit of sarc Edmonton ….

All makes sense if the goal is to destroy humanity.
Did she remember to bring up that is also hurts women first as well?
Carbon emissions are racist and sexist. They have to go!
Actually she is incorrect.
If CO2 causes a rise in temperature, which is the IPCC premise, then it will hurt white people first because those of African descent are better adapted to hot climates.
If she actually MEANS it will hurt People of color first, then she can only be referring to the higher cost of energy.
(I have been taking lesson from Lord Monckton)
The additional pigmentation of darker skin helps with increased UV radiation. The “extra heat” from CO2 is in the IR radiation bands. No help in this case …
There won’t be any increased UV radiation. But you knew that.
Isn’t elemental carbon black? So if it hurts ‘people’ of color’ first, doesn’t that make it self-hating? This blog is a continuous source of wonder and education for me as I discover the near-sentient behavior of inanimate matter and natural processes. NONE of this was covered in engineering school .
Diamond is elemental carbon.
Don’t be a Conflatist! (…conflating soot with CO2) is almost as bad as being racist. 😉 just having fun
Once you have paid for your Smart appliances, and paid for the Smart meter connection a to the Smart grid you will find out who has been Smarted
Only the Smart elite will stay connected.

Maybe they should read what a guy in Australia says –

The believers were promised—promised!—there would be no math.
They want columns, torches, drums and speeches. They want to hear who is the enemy of the people and when a proper action will be taken by the authorities.
Entschuldigen Sie bitte, ich vergessen…
Well there you have it … poverty has a preference for colored people. Gina McCarthy is a self loathing progressive racist.
Come on guys.. strictly speaking black is not a colour…… it is a lack of colour.
There is less reflected light in most of the visible spectrum from a person with very dark skin.
White, on the other hand, reflects more light across the whole spectrum.
Are you white or black? Only blacks can decide if black is a color. White people have no say in it. When they do, it’s cultural and racial appropriation:

There won’t be any increased radiation in the visible spectrum. But you knew that.
Hurricane Katrina, caused by CO2, hurt more blacks because it hit New Orleans. Sandy, on the other hand, which was also caused by coal power plants, hit beach resort towns in Long Island and Jersey, so it hurt more blue eyed devils.
The average American household now owns fewer than two cars, returning to the levels of the early 1990s.
More teens are waiting to get a license — or not getting one at all. Less than 70 percent of 19-year-olds now have one, down from 87 percent two decades ago, government figures show.

If people keep driving more fuel efficient cars fewer miles how will states pay for roads funded largely with gas taxes?
If taxes and fees go unchanged, Wisconsin will fall $680 million short of covering basic maintenance every year for the next decade, transportation officials say.
The neo-luddites also want to get rid of roads as they move all of us into Transit Villages aka Labor Camps. Unfortunately I am not joking.
That is what high speed rail and Rewilding is all about. (It is also why we see megafires out west)
Cormell University is already doing FoodShed research to determine how many people each labor camp can support.
As Holdren and Ehrlich said in their 1973 book Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions
So our universities are busy redesigning our “economic model” to fit Holdren and Ehrlich’s notions of “sustainability.”
…sounds like the heat death of the universe idea…a pretty cold, uniform gruel (of humanity in this case)…with absolutely no room for independent thought, much less progress.
Holdren and Ehrlich are just pedaling a softer more palatable version of what George Bernard Shaw said a few decades earlier.
Has anyone bothered to mention to the blacks that the long term goal of the Progressives/Socialists/Fabians is to shove us all back into a system of serfdom/slavery?
Has anyone bothered to mention that Marxism is a giant hoax (bought and paid for by Phillips a banker) to make the rubes clamor for a return to serfdom?
As Wayne Hage stated:
Fundamental Economic Rule #2: If you can’t OWN property, you ARE property.
Fundamental economic rule# 1: there is no free lunch, also applies. Sooner or later those giving you that free lunch will want payment. Just ask my sheep (YUM)
(Also see: ‘Wayne Hage’ The Land and the Law in Conflict–2 concerning Bundy)
Exactly why they are moving toward a per mile driven tax based upon on board telemetry.

they already proposed a GPS driven mileage recorder to tax you per mile driven. Of course it would also be capable of recording your every destination as well.
Listening to Gina McArthy on NPR? Talk about your self loathing!
This is more in line with ‘mainstream’ masochism.
Def. – mas·och·ism – /mas??kiz?m/
noun
a) the tendency to derive pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from one’s own pain or humiliation.
b) (in general use) the enjoyment of what appears to be painful or tiresome.
“isn’t there some masochism involved in taking on this kind of project?”
.
That is the reason I gave up watching TV forty years ago and gave up listening to radio ten years ago. It keeps me from hurting my wrists from using the sledge hammer….
Jim, you know you can’t beat masochism, so stop trying to whip up controversy.
carbon is racist… who knew?
Carbon is black that’s why they can sell it as a pollutant.
People of color hurt people of color first.
Gina McCarthy commutes back and forth between DC and Boston via commercial jet weekly. Her being away all week Sounds like a good deal for Gina’s spouse, but with carbon being so selective in its villainy could this be interpreted as a big F you to minorities?
These people, in the administration, are complete idiots.
This ^^^^^^^
Yes, the Odumbo regime is totally RACIST.
Sheesh! The race card and CO2, what lows this administration sinks to. This and the farce trade of 5 Taliban for a deserter, all within a few days of each other. The new spelling of disaster:
O _ B _ A _ M _ A
