Please, please oh please tell me this is a joke.
There is literally no possible correlation between the two. That's like saying gravity is racist against mexicans.
(I mean, it's clearly racists against anyone not in australia, because the australians don't fall off the planet despite being upside down.)

They say it's because airports are built in city centers and all the cars, which is just exactly where they're gonna be either way, and many 3rd world countries are low lying nations, and lots of minorities live in cities.

NATURE IS INDISCRIMINATE!
Dischord sucks anyway. You might as well have reinvented Skype.

...That's actually not as much of a stretch as you'd think.

Typically airports are indeed landlocked by suburban growth around them. The area right near the airport is undesireable property because of the noise from the airport itself and from the traffic going to and from it. Any land that isn't occupied by businesses near an airport is usually used to build houses- or at least houses that were there before the airport formed remain in use until plowed under to make businesses.

People living on a low income in such towns often end up living near said airport because the undesireability caused by the noise makes housing there cheaper. Which ends up putting more minorities near the airport where it is noisy and polluted than in other parts of the city where things are calmer and quieter.

But the only connection any of that has to Climate Change is the formation of local hotspots by the abundance of paved roads and parking lots. These create isolated local hotspots a few degrees higher than the surrounding countryside, and happen anywhere that fields and forests have given way to civilization. Rich people can afford to build their houses in the forest or out in the open field to stay cooler, while poor people are stuck surrounded by neighbors and stores.

Local Hotspots are not really climate change though, as the phenomena driving them is fairly well understood and could theoretically be reversed by removing the pavement from the area.

More drama over the old redditfurs discord, good stuff.

Meanwhile in the Avali Triage discord, instead of trying to fight the daily drama the place has evolved to accept it, even having a special chat room just for letting arguments play out with a mediator.

Unfortunately, redditfurs doesn't have issues with interpersonal friction, it has issues with admin abuse.

Heeey I am enjoying discord! Things have been running very smoothly and I'm very happy to be a part of the mess of organized chaos and... lots of hugs and booping that overwhelms even me.

Valid point.
So I've been playing more Borderlands 2. I've switched over to Zer0 considering the Mechromancer cannot solo to save her life, and so far all had been well, considering I've already surpassed my original character in plot missions.

Best event so far was a psycho doing their "big laugh" line going "Hahahahaha" all over the place, I headshot them, interrupting the line, and Zer0 simply finishes with, "Heehee".

Too bad I can't see the emotes on the helm ever.

I have no idea how feasible any of this is, but even if it isn't, it sounds reasonable enough.
Technobabble +1. Level up.

On a scale of feasible to horseshit it is definitely a 4 or something
Long as I can convince the average person though I am satisfied.

Gaige can solo? It's trickier, though.

Afterthought Edit: I mean, I did on all difficulties, though I focused on LittleBigTrouble, which is all about AoE damage and shit, so...
I convinced the GM of the Black Crusade campaign I'm a part of that I could wreath someone's arm in plasma and have it not kill them, it worked, and now our master duelist Nightlords Spess Muhrine with a power-sword for an arm has a Plasma-Power-Sword for an arm.

Next is finding a way to make Imperium plasma weapons safe and using magnets to create a plasma engine for our friendly neighborhood squat's motorbike.
