    1. racist policies in any setting where they exist — school, work, government, and so on.

      It's sad that racist policies exist in schools since young, impressionable people learn there. That could build racist morals that they'll grow up with.

    2. By reflexively defining yourself as not racist, or beyond racism's firm grip, you're making it impossible to see how your own ideas, thoughts, and actions could be indeed racist.

      I see a lot of this. I feel like people use titles to be seen a specific way, rather than actually believing/following their morals.

    1. Second, the study demonstrates that the group of people emitting the least CO2 is also the group suffering the most from the effects of climate change. The poorest 50 percent of people live predominantly in the most vulnerable countries, facing, for example, higher risks of floods, droughts, and heat waves. Such inequalities also apply within countries.

      That's frustrating. The people that contribute the least are suffering the most (and the other way around).

    2. only 100 companies have been responsible for 71 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.

      !!! I'm guessing they are continuing to use environmentally harmful methods so they can make money. Sustainable methods would be more efficient in the long run. Costs may be a factor in the beginning, but down the road, there will be less worries for the planet and companies.

    1. bushcraft skills

      I wasn't quite sure what this included so I looked it up:
