Baltimoreans who are black and wealthy – or poor and white – are the ones most likely to be concerned about climate change.
That’s according to a new Hopkins study, which found significant racial and economic differences in Baltimoreans’ views on climate concerns.
Only 62 percent of white Baltimore-area households who earn more than $110,000 said they think climate change will personally impact them in the next five years.
Meanwhile, more than 90 percent of black households earning more than $110,000 said they’re worried about that.
