Its citing this, which appears to be a heavily biased left leaning rag. On the front page it literally says white supremacy is stopping us from doing something about climate change, its embarrassing for the CBC and makes me fearful of our own state broadcaster pumping out propaganda.

white supremacy certainly isnt helping to fight climate change, lol.

Its got absolutely nothing to do with it at all. China isn't pumping out coal in order to appease white superiority. Its one of the stupidest god damn things I've ever read.

white supremacists are easily catered to by far right politicians, who are also overwhelmingly funded by heavy polluters, oil, coal, natural gas, etc. Trump is a great example, not only did he run on "drill baby, drill" and is actively working on expanding oil and coal in the united states, he is also is actively forcing institutions to delete climate data and turning off satelites that measure climate data. essentially anything green is also on the chopping block. solar, wind, etc.

so yes, in part, white supremecy is to blame for the election of candidates who do not care for the environment, and perpetuate lies and misinformation about climate change not being real. you just have to rile your base on anti immigrant propaganda, and they flock to the voting boothes to stop "white genocide" or whatever foolish nonsense they believe in.

not saying they are fully to blame, but they are flocking to candidates who either dont believe in climate change, or simply dont care about it.

ignoring that is like ignoring that LGBTQ+ people are more likely to vote for green progressives. everyone contributes to policy when they vote, and everyone who votes is partially responsible for the outcome of that election.

edit: also when it comes to china, using them as a "whataboutism" doesnt excuse the behaviour of another country.
