Climate equity discussion at Gristmill

Gristmill has started a 'conversation' on climate change and equity - and someone has recommended this blog. Thanks.

The take-homes for the Tall Economist are that in the USA, national issues outjump all others. Danielle Dearne talks about poorer communities within the US being adversely affected by climate change. While I am sure this is true, every country has communities that are poor, marginalised and without opportunity. The impact of climate change on these communities is sketchy to say the least. Arguably, it is those in developing countries who will still bear the brunt.
