" If we don’t, racism will continue to exacerbate climate change"
- irq11 7y ago“exacerbate” does not mean “is a root cause”.
- ravar 7y agoI interpret root cause to mean a causal variable that is not dependent on other examined causal variables. If racism can exacerbate something, it is playing a causal role. Since the racism does not depend on other mentioned variables, (racism is not a product of co2 emissions) it would then have to be a root cause given the context.
- irq11 7y agono matter how much you torture your logic to redefine “root cause” as “cause”, your interpretation is wrong.
