U.S. National Academy of Sciences: Racial disparities and climate policy. Really!

Racialize everything! Ostensible racism everywhere! 

It is very disturbing when even the prestigious NAS of the U.S. disseminates such propaganda and demagoguery!

Well, the headquarters of the NAS is located in the swamp (a.k.a. Washington DC).

As if e.g. white poor people are not exposed to air pollution!

"... In the United States, racial minorities experience a disproportionate exposure to air pollution. Greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, such as particulate matter, are often produced together. So, policy that aims to reduce greenhouse gases should also reduce air pollutants, improving racial equity in air quality. Or, at least, that’s the ideal. ..."

Racial disparities and climate policy | Science Sessions | PNAS Pascal Polonik and Kate Ricke explain why reducing greenhouse gas emissions does not always improve environmental equity [???].
