style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particularly for ADOS, but no doubt for many Black Americans, the change in regional climate patterns exacerbates the precarities stemming from public policies historically aimed at protecting white property values at the expense of the Black community. Indeed, efforts to shore up those values necessarily entailed making Black communities a site of neglect and ruin. And now, having been intentionally placed in those inferior living environments, Black Americans are being made to suffer the attendant climate-related hazards in a pronounced way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Describing what researchers call the &#8216;heat island effect&#8217;\u2014a phenomenon in which tree-scarce, asphalt, and concrete-rich areas more readily absorb the sun&#8217;s energy and consequently experience more significant temperature rise\u2014the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Post<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reported that \u201cBlacks saw the highest urban heat exposure increase at 3.12\u00b0 Celsius.\u201d\u00b9 By comparison, Hispanics experience an increase of 2.70\u00b0 Celsius, and the average heat island effect in majority-white neighborhoods (at +1.47\u00b0 Celsius) registers at less than half that of majority-Black neighborhoods.\u00b2 In terms of how this phenomenon translates to a racialized morbidity rate, Black Americans are 2.5 x\u2019s more likely to die from heat-related causes than whites.\u00b3\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is but one ramification of many that directly reflect how the legacy of anti-Blackness in America has not only predisposed the Black population to become the principal victims of climate-related harms, but also how ADOS are the only group for whom this arrangement is tied to the historic betrayal of the federal government to pay reparations and protect the former slaves during Reconstruction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, as then, most ADOS reside south of the Mason-Dixon line, with the overwhelming majority located in states along the Atlantic or Gulf Coast.\u2074 These Black coastal communities are being devastated through the erosion of land, flooding, and the ever-growing intensity of storms associated with global warming. Compounding the burden of increasingly inhospitable land is the inability of these communities to marshal the resources necessary to adapt and recover from havoc-wreaking, extreme<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weather events.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And whereas the federal government is charged with functioning as a responsive and supportive entity in this regard, the failures of its principal agency to deliver adequate relief to Black communities impacted by catastrophic natural events is well-documented.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research from the University of Pittsburgh and Rice University reveals how\u2014by providing white homeowners with significantly larger payouts relative to Black homeowners in the aftermath of natural hazards \u2014the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is contributing to the growing wealth gap between white and Black America. The authors note that, in counties that have experienced over $100,000 in damages,<\/span><sup>5<\/sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> white families saw an increase in their net worth after receiving FEMA aid. Black families, however, saw a decrease. The government, in other words, continues to be derelict in its constitutional responsibility to guarantee our rights.

Through a process termed &#8216;blue-lining,&#8217; insurance companies are beginning to update their flood maps<\/span><sup>6<\/sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to reflect novel dangers present in certain regions prone to climate change impact.

In some cases, insurance companies may refuse to underwrite certain areas altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What, then, are the consequences of these possible eventualities for a group whose historical legacy is one of intentional wealth deprivation? How\u2014at a time when the government is allocating trillions of dollars to transition U.S. energy production toward more sustainable, climate-friendly ends\u2014do we not factor in the ways in which the energy production of yesterday so relied on exploitative and abusive practices inflicted on our community? Whether through slave labor, by which the early fossil fuel industry subsisted on our exclusion,<sup>7<\/sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or through convict leasing where that same industry leveraged the government\u2019s failure to protect our rights and freedoms, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">energy production is one of so many industries in America that is built upon and allowed to thrive on our ancestors\u2019 oppression. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And insofar as the government now seeks to make repairs to the climate that its past policies helped harm, then it most certainly cannot evade\u2014at the same time\u2014making the necessary repairs to the specific community that those past policies also ravished in the process.
