Poll: Hard Truths - Environmental Racism
The Axios-Ipsos Hard Truths Environmental Racism poll finds that while all Americans are experiencing much the same climate-related challenges, minority Americans are much more likely to experience poor environmental conditions. Along similar lines, Americans across the board report similar experiences with severe weather, but Black and Hispanic Americans are more likely to experience prolonged power outages or water safety issues. This comes as a majority of Americans believe climate change is happening and support efforts to fight it, even though they are pessimistic about our ability to counter the worst impacts.
