Baltimore Residents Are Totally Worried About Climate Doom

This is a hoot, and shows how people have been indoctrinated to believe in the wrong things

Baltimore-area residents worry about effects of climate change on their lives

For Baltimore, climate change feels personal: Nearly three-quarters of city and county residents worry that climate change will hurt them, with that concern highest among the wealthiest Black households and the poorest white ones, according to a new report from the Johns Hopkins University’s 21st Century Cities Initiative.

The findings challenge widely held perceptions that climate change is a luxury issue for affluent white people, the report authors said.

“Our impressions are often shaped by the people who have time to turn up to meetings or those with access to media channels. They end up being the loudest voice in the room, so we assume they care the most,” said lead author Michael Bader, an associate professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins and faculty director of the 21st Century Cities Initiative. “But, in our survey, everyone has an equal voice. And our data show that many preconceived notions around who cares about climate change turn out to be wrong.” (snip)

When asked whether they thought climate change would impact them personally in the next five years, more than 90% of the Black households earning more than $110,000 a year said they worried they would be harmed, compared to 62% of the white households in the same income bracket.

So, essentially, higher end folks. The median household income for Baltimore is $58K.

But, let’s consider: according to Neighborhood Scout Baltimore is a 1, meaning it is “Safer than 1% of U.S. cities.” Zero is the worst. The average violent crime rate for Maryland is 4.26 and US is 6. Baltimore is 15.81. The property crime rate is double the Maryland and US rates. There are 408 crimes per square mile.

19.6% of the population is below poverty level. 60.7% are Black. Perhaps they should all be concerned with crime and stuff. Not the climate scam.
