Cooling Poverty
An aspect of environmental inequality that greatly harms the disadvantaged and minorities due to the disparate impacts of climate change. Those without white privilege lack adequate access to cooling islands, chilled drinking water, and technological heat mitigation systems. This may cause the at-risk individuals to use dangerous 19th century technology like hats, fans, and wet washcloths, to drink non-bottled water, and to spend time seeking shade outside.
