[MCN] Gentrification is destroying communities

[Lance Olsen]

Gentrification is destroying communities just as much as climate change
The Guardian
  - ?1 hour ago?
Think of climate change as a globalized form of gentrification, 
reducing complex environments, uprooting species and cultures, 
punishing the poor and rewarding the rich - or at least leaving them 
out of the purges.

"The greatest disturbances of which we are aware are those now being 
introduced by man himself. Since his tampering with the biological 
and geochemical balances may ultimately prove injurious -- even fatal 
-- to himself, he must understand them better than today."

"The acceleration in the consumption of fossil fuels implies that the 
amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will keep climbing ...... 
A fundamental question is : What will happen  ...  ? Clearly the 
exponential changes cannot continue."

Bert Bolin. "The Carbon Cycle."
Scientific American, September 1970
