Climate Alarmism is "White Privilege"
Timothy Birdnow
What a buffoon! She holds contradictory positioons that she simply Orwell-like ignores. For example she says "Is climate anxiety a form of white fragility or even racial anxiety? Put another way, is climate anxiety just code for white people wishing to hold onto their way of life or get "back to normal,†to the comforts of their privilege?" Now the people promoting "climate alarmism" are overwhelmingly on the Left, and they are promoting radical changes. How is climate anxiety reactionary in any way? I suspect this woman knows this. She's a liar, I suspect, projecting her own sins on others.
Climate Anxiety is an Overwhelmingly White Phenomenon
Her basic premise is correct in that it's whites who worry about a lot of hot air. Others know it's a scam, or at least know it isn't the emergency the media promotes it as.

From the article:
Since its publication, I have been struck by the fact that those
responding to the concept of climate anxiety are overwhelmingly white.
Indeed, these climate anxiety circles are even whiter than the
environmental circles I’ve been in for decades. Today, a year into the
pandemic, after the murder of George Floyd and the protests that
followed, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol, I am deeply concerned
about the racial implications of climate anxiety. If people of color
are more concerned about climate change than white people, why is the
interest in climate anxiety so white? Is climate anxiety a form of
white fragility or even racial anxiety? Put another way, is climate
anxiety just code for white people wishing to hold onto their way of
life or get "back to normal,†to the comforts of their privilege?
