Same publication that two days ago posts about how climate anxiety is a white issue...

At least they could stop calling themselves "scientific" american.

That doesn't clash with my observations at all. Environmental activists of all strains, including climate enthusiasts, are overwhelmingly white.
This may be a consequence of the place you live in or the language you're reading their material in. I expect there are plenty of people doing environmental things (possibly under other names) in Africa/India/China.

White people also invented "rolling coal", so we have both extremes.

It might not clash with your observations but it’s a pretty racist thing to say
If something is true, I don't really care if you're going to try to attach a negative emotional connotation to it (at least if we're discussing things at arm's length).
