First, before we go deep into addressing the matter of whether we as humans are the oppressors relating to the cause of climate change, we need to first define oppression. Oppression is defined as a demonstration of unjust and cruel treatment. We have racial oppression, especially with African Americans, especially during the Civil Rights Movement, during the late 1950s, after Emmit Till’s death, the cause of the Civil Rights Movement was because of Carolyn Bryant false accusations on Emmit Till. Worse of all, was when Mamie Till had to witness seeing her 14 year old son mutilated body, led her to be distraught and heartbroken because of him being an African American man in the South that is what led Roy Bryant and his brother in law to do the hate crime towards beating hard, murdering, shooting and choking him to death. Therefore, this proves how racial oppression can also relate to humanic oppression as well dealing with how one can truly create harm for society and for others.

We as humans are the true oppression of climate change. We are adding more plastic waste to the ground instead of putting it in the recycle bin for reuse. We are also adding more waste through smoking, by all of the components and chemicals that we use when we inhale and exhale out in the air, which also causes C02 intake to increase in the air. We also have the tendency to have the ability when we see trash not to pick it up. We also have the audacity this way to cause more harm to the environment than good. Therefore, when we keep doing this mistreatment towards our environment climate change will increase significantly to where it will cause a long term devastating negative effect to us and our environment.
