    Climate change and the environment are finally salient election issues now. That presents opportunities and challenges for people of color.

        I wanna do a quick primer so that we at least agree on some terms to talk about climate and the environment, since so much gets mixed up.

        Climate change and the environment are, of course, related, but too often get jumbled up. So let's start there.

        Climate change is global. Think about more extreme weather like hurricanes, longer mosquito seasons, increased floods, crippling droughts.

        As a term, the environment is usually applied locally: how much smog in your skyline, lead in your drinking water, arsenic in your soil.

        Take an oil refinery: While it's true there's a disastrous climate (global) effect from it, there's a (local) environmental effect too.

        We care about carbon emissions from things like oil refineries because higher carbon emissions mean more climate change in the world.

        But we should also care about oil refineries' environmental effects on local communities in the forms of asthma, cancer and death.

        Whether we're talking about climate change (the global one) or environment (the local one), we find that burdens are not spread out equally.

        Take climate change: think about Hurricane Katrina. Was overwhelmingly black people who were killed; those who did survive were displaced.

        Black Louisiana residents aren't the ones who emitted most carbon—not historically, and not in their lifetimes. But they felt its effects.

        Over and over again, people who emitted the least carbon, and contributed the least to climate change, are the ones who die from it.

        When we talk about the unequal effects of climate change (the global one for the sake of these tweets), we use the term climate justice.

        Climate justice already assumes that climate change is not being doled out equally or fairly. And it seeks to find solutions for that.

        But we need to remember the whole local environmental part of all of this, too. Because that's just as unequal and unfair.

        Fact: in the US, white people breathe better air. Poor white people still more likely to breathe better air than middle-class black people.

        Poor people and poc tend to live closer to the oil industry and its tentacles: oil pumps, oil refineries, oil storage tanks. You name it.

        The oil industry draws out a slow violence against poor communities and neighborhoods of color. The price is sickness and death.

        Heard of the VW diesel scandal? Scandalous. The company was straight cheating emissions tests in order to get ahead. But it don't end there.

        It was rich white folks driving those VW cars through freeways that cut through black and latinx neighborhoods. Our lungs paid the price.

        Go to San Bernardino. The county consistently ranks the worst air quality in the US in first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place.

        Who lives in San Bernardino? Black and latinx people—many of whom were displaced by white people moving to LA. Environmental gentrification.

        So many places in San Bernardino accommodate customers with... enough room for oxygen tanks. Because everyone has asthma.

        Some cities segregated people into places like Mexicantown, which happened to be where the landfill was. Name changed, but landfill didn't.

        Because there's a lot of talk about climate change, Flint, carbon emissions, and more... But it sometimes lacks proper context.
