The chance to breath clean air has a justice, a class component. #With the #pyrocene having more #forestfires and the #pandemic raising awareness for air quality the #1percent, the #globalnorth around the world buy their way out of it with expensive air filters. #environmentalrisk like that always had been and is #intersectional. With this #climategentrification, who will suffer in the #sessionaryAtmospheres, who will pay the price for the far-away, business as usual trickle down promises of #GreenGrowth?

"The glass dome might be a trope of science fiction, but some version has already arrived. It’s just more subtle than [Buckminster] Fuller’s giant contact lens, suspended over the city: The domes today are the buildings themselves. In a handful of decades, worsening air quality may divide everyone into those who can thrive 'in-dome' anywhere, no matter how bad the air outside is, and those who can afford no such protections, and must endure the harrowing consequences: more frequent illness, earlier death."

"In 2021 and 2022, about 1.2 million people fled towns with poor air quality, a Redfin study found. But that study also noted that many of these same towns also had exorbitant housing costs. It’s difficult to separate any climate signal in that data from a “rent is too high” signal."
I read that differently:
The people who are moving are the people who can afford to move. We will see #ClimateGentrification. -
"For the billionaires and mere multimillionaires who have flocked to places like South #Florida, a five- and six-figure [#HomeInsurance] policy, while costly, won’t break the bank.
The result: an acceleration of #ClimateGentrification. Increasingly, only the affluent will be able to afford to insure themselves against the #ExtremeWeather, #floods and #wildfires on our warming planet. People of more modest means will simply be priced out, industry experts say."

Thousands of Americans are leaving homes in flood-risk areas. But where are they moving to?
A new study provides a clearer picture of the FEMA home buyouts program.
By Rachel Ramirez, CNN, Jun 21, 2023
"De Sherbinin pointed out that there is a process of 'climate gentrification' playing out in areas that have experienced climate disasters, 'whereby more affluent households are moving into ethnically diverse neighborhoods that are less at risk of flooding, and are even displacing local residents.'"
