"The rich pollute, the poor suffer" - The Economist

[ChemEngineer]

While reading Bjorn Lomborg's book, False Alarm - How Climate Change Panic Costs US Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet, I came across a strange sentence. "The rich pollute, the poor suffer." Doing a search, I found it in an article by The Economist magazine headed with these exact words, and did some research on what I think of as pollution.

Worst Slum -Kiberia, Kenya

#2 Mathare, Kenya

#3 Kawangware, Kenya

#4 Ajegunie, Nigeria

#5 Kangame, Kenya

#6 Khayelitsha, South Africa

Orangi, Pakistan - World's Largest Slum 2.4 million

#7 Ciudad Neza, Mexico 1.2 million residents

#8 Dharavi, India 1 million

Rocinha, Brazil 200,000

#10 Makoko, Nigeria - 300,000

900,000.000 Humans live in the world's slums. They care NOTHING about climate change panic. Moreover, the rich did not pollute these horrific slums.

pollution and climate change are two completely different things,,

one exists and the other is made up by tyrants that want to control the world,,,

 

[ChemEngineer]

Is carbon dioxide a pollutant under the Clean Air Act?


In its language, the bill specifically identifies carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases earlier defined by the EPA as regulated pollutants under the EPA's remit.

 

[mamooth]

Moreover, the rich did not pollute these horrific slums.

Why didn't they just use the local trash service?

Oh wait, there isn't one.

You are a very stupid human being, someone you hold in common with all global warming deniers. Deniers are either morons, or they're getting paid to fool the morons.

That's what they want America to look like.

I wonder how much I could make if I rolled to those places with a flatbed full of corrugated metal and clear fiberglass and some PT 2x4s?

parts of detroit already do look like that,,

Ya know, that ain't really "pollution", that's just a lot of garbage.

That ain't no heavy water or chemicals drained out into a river or anything.

Murica's southern border is a tremendous trash heap....Brought to us by the very people who piously proclaim themselves to be the greatest champions for the environment.


You try to square that circle at home.

 

[Moonglow]

All they need to do it light a match and torch the trash.

 

[jackflash]

EXCELLENT!!!

 

[two_iron]

You sure that's not Baltimore?

The democrats are not going to appreciate, at least, an honorable mention in slum development and management. With no slums, there is no democrat party.

And never forget....

Ive Been to Kenya more than once. Thye throw their garbage right in the river or burn it constantly. Blame the Kenyan government for not creating garbage services. they have money.

you posted a bunch Of pictures of indigent people living in trashy slums.Did the poor create air and water pollution from factories and mines required for manufacturing of electric vehicles?
Like all forms of mining, lithium extraction and processing comes with a number of concerning social and ecological impacts. These include pollution, water depletion, loss of biodiversity, threats to human rights, nonmining livelihoods, and Indigenous sovereignty and cultural integrity.

Want to hear something funny? Bill Gates donates 10 million dollars per year to negate his own carbon footprint because he doesn't want to actually do anything to reduce his carbon footprint.

 

[Resnic]

Yes the poor suffer. They always have even back to ancient Egypt and right up to now.

The reason is because not everyone is equal. Never have been, never will be. People have different levels of potential. Just like I'm middle class and I will never be more than that, it isn't who I am, I don't have that level of potential. Those people in those pictures can't be me, just like I can't be bill gates, hell I can't even be my father that is several levels above me.

None of those pictures are of pollution. That's just shitty areas full of garbage. There will always be shitty areas on earth. The only way there could not be is if everyone single person is enslaved and controlled and only allowed to have the bare minimum and forced to live a life of minimalism and live to work.

 

[LeftofLeft]

More class warfare. History is replete with it; and, unfortunately, it will never cease.

 

[ChemEngineer]

That's what they want America to look like.

Detroit is working very hard to get there.
