Scott Solomon, an “ecology, evolution and scientific communication professor at Rice University,” is trying to look for the silver lining when it comes to “global warming.” It’ll help end racism!
How does he figure? BECAUSE a bunch of people from sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America will migrate and mix with people they otherwise wouldn’t, and all of our skin tones will kind of blur as a result…or something.
PLUS it will be SO hot and SO sunny that we’ll all get crazy tans and basically all be the same color. (OK, OK. I added that part. Can I be a scientist too now?!)
“The bottom line? As people around the world become more physically similar to one another, it’s possible that racism might slowly fade,” Mr. Solomon said in a Sept. 7 article for MACH.
That scenario was predicated upon forecasts of mass migrations sending millions of “climate refugees” away from the coasts and warmer climates.
…
The result could be an increase in “gene flow, a type of evolution caused by the blending of genes between populations,” Mr. Solomon said.
“Because skin color is controlled by many genes, parents whose skin color differs tend to have children with intermediate skin tones,” Solomon said. “And so in five to 10 generations (125 to 250 years), we may see fewer people with dark skin or pale skin and more with a brown or olive complexion. Having both dark skin and light eyes may become more common.”
Question: In the liberal mind, does this make “global warming” a GOOD thing? Do they like it now? Is it racist to NOT want global warming, knowing that it could help eradicate racism?! How do I liberal here?! HALP.
