Democrat Senator Ed Markey confused millions of users on social media this week when he claimed that “extreme heat is a justice issue” caused by patterns of “segregation and redlining.”
“Extreme heat is a justice issue. Within the same city, some neighborhoods can be up to 20°F hotter than others. Studies have shown that heat risk is disproportionately distributed to communities of color in patterns associated with segregation and redlining,” posted Markey.

“Systemic problems require systemic solutions. That’s why I introduced the Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act which will identify the communities most at risk from climate impacts like extreme heat so we can address problems before they become emergencies,” he adds.
