SOME SCIENTISTS OF COLOR STILL THINK RACE IS REAL

"I recently became aware of the surprisingly high number of mainstream scientists who are publishing articles that focus on genetic explanations of racial health inequalities.

U.S. low-income neighborhoods have 15% less tree cover & are 1.5⁰C hotter than high-income areas. The urban Northeast has highest inequity: some areas have 30% less tree cover & are 4.0⁰C hotter. Areas with more white residents & fewer low-income residents have more tree cover. $17.6 billion in tree planting could close the tree cover disparity, benefitting 42 million people living on low-income blocks.
