House Majority Whip: Climate Change Hurts Blacks More

In an old Internet joke, a fake news headline proclaims, "Killer asteroid to destroy the Earth -- blacks and Hispanics to be disproportionately affected."

Once again, what was once satire is now policy:

Climate change is no longer just an environmental issue. It’s now an issue of race, according to global warming activists and policy makers.

“It is critical our community be an integral and active part of the debate because African-Americans are disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change economically, socially and through our health and well-being,” House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., said July 29.

I suppose if you don't believe in global warming, you must be a racist. If an elected official says so, it must be true.
