Climate Anxiety Is an Overwhelmingly White Phenomenon
- jevoten 5y ago> If people of color are more concerned about climate change than white people, why is the interest in climate anxiety so white? I'm confused. Non-whites are more concerned about climate change (in the US - the poll cited only surveyed US adults, an odd choice for such a global problem), but whites are more "interested in climate anxiety"? How did they measure "interest in climate anxiety"? There's no citation or explanation given, or even a definition of what that term means or how it differs from "concern about climate change". In any case, the situation is lose/lose: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/08/white-men-environmental-movement-leadership https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/08/white-...
