Global Warming Sexism: 'Women Bear the Brunt of Climate Change'

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

As you certainly know by now, the liberal bogeyman known as global warming has been implicated by green media representatives and Al Gore sycophants - assuming there's a difference - as being responsible for virtually every planetary malady.

Yet, did you know that women are more threatened by climate change than men?

You didn't?

Honestly, with a woman in good position to be the Democrat's presidential nominee, all I can say is, "What took them so long to come up with this one?"

As feministicly reported by India's Sify (emphasis added throughout):

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

They have to walk to fetch water, fodder or fuel wood. They have to work longer hours in fields that fetch less and less. After floods and storms, they still have to put food on the plate.

Women bear the brunt of climate change every year, a global network of women's groups pointed out here.

You really can't make this stuff up:

Anna Pinto, an activist based in Goa, said the current focus of replacing fossil fuels with biofuels - which she called agrofuels - would only make matters worse for women, as they took land away from food crops or forests.

She called the promotion of agrofuels "a threat to human rights, especially for women, because they face extreme burdens in times of food shortages and water scarcity, which are going to get worse if land is taken away for agrofuels."

Of course they do, for men don't need food and water. Didn't you know that? But I digress:

The women's network pointed out: "Yet, as those charged with meeting the food needs of their families, women in most communities hold the most reliable knowledge about promoting food sovereignty, preserving threatened food supplies, managing and maintaining water sources, and ensuring their families' survival in the face of shortages."

The network called upon governments preparing a Bali roadmap to "recognise the vital urgency of gender equality in the growing climate crisis and demonstrate leadership through top-level support for considering gender concerns in all UNFCCC (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) and related process and include the installation of a gender-watch system within UNFCCC.

In case you haven't fainted yet, take a gander at their suggestions:

"Integrate gender aspects into adaptation plans and tools, focusing on specific adaptation needs, and ensuring women's participation in developing the plans.

"Commit to sustainable and equitable financing scheme and ensure gender equity in all phases and aspects of funding.

"Allocate 20 per cent of all donor funds for activities and projects addressing women and designed and implemented by women and gender experts."

Isn't that special?

"Women and minorites hardest hit"....of course.

motherbelt, it's "women, minorities AND KIDS hit hardest"

I posted this several weeks ago:

"Global warming may hit kids harder, pediatrics group says"

These idiots are competing with each other to see who can put out the best scare scenarios.

"These idiots are competing

"These idiots are competing with each other to see who can put out the best scare scenarios."

Yeah, I made a similar observation a few weeks ago. It's like they have an inside joke running to see who can sell the most ridiculous global warming disaster to the ignorant masses.

"inside joke" about global warming

I was thinking along the same lines, ckc.

In spite of the examples given by many liberals, I find it hard to accept that an entire group of so-called professionals can be that stupid and that easily fooled. It's somehow more comforting to hope that the members of the MSM give each other knowing winks in the bar after work. ;^)

I think I'm nautous

The network called upon governments preparing a Bali roadmap to "recognise the vital urgency of gender equality in the growing climate crisis and demonstrate leadership through top-level support for considering gender concerns in all UNFCCC (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) and related process and include the installation of a gender-watch system within UNFCCC.

Sounds like yet another excuse to impose a "white male" tax. How long do you think nobAL Gore and the UN devise a scheme to start profiting off this garbage?

Next week, these kooks will declare that of all women, lesbians are the most inperiled by the "global warming" hoax.

Good catch TE

Ahhh, I get it TE...to drum up more sympathy for Hillary.

They have to walk to fetch water, fodder or fuel wood.

  There's the real threat to these women.  They is still fetchin'.  What they really need is to modernize and give up the old ways.

Apparently that broad has

Apparently that broad has been hanging around with Sally Fields too much. "If only women ruled the world, there wouldn't be any g**d*** wars." Yeah, and if women ruled the world, there would be no droughts, no floods, no epidemics, no crime, no hunger, no famines, and so on. And, now, women have the solutions to the problems of the world, including climate change.  I wonder how many women (and men for that matter) are really stupid enough to believe that crap?

"A communist is someone who reads Marx. An anti-communist is someone who understands Marx." Ronald Reagan

Of course, if the

Of course, if the US tries to promote "gender equity" (whatever that really means) in these countries, we're accused of cultural imperialism or ethnocentrism or the other "isms" that the Left loves to throw around (need I say "racism?").

After all, no person - man or women - in the 21st century should be ruled by a power without that person's consent.

But there I go with all that Jacobin neoconservatism talk. Shame on me. Chris Matthews won't like it.

But I thought ugly Americans weren't supposed to go to other countries with the intention of changing anything.

Same crap, new decade. Give us the paycheck and keep your capitalism out of it.

Lets see, I am sitting here in my house in front of the cpu while temperatures outside are falling and rain is turning to sleet and snow.  I am glancing at my wife, she is enjoying the warmth of our couch; yup, very hard hit by "climate change".

 "...the current focus of

 "...the current focus of replacing fossil fuels with biofuels - which she called agrofuels - would only make matters worse for women,"

Meaning, it isn't "Global Warming" that's a threat, it's Global Warming Hysteria that's the threat.

But, the Greens don't care, so long as their comfort is assured.

Booooooooo

for Halloween I went as myself...

The EVIL WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE...

scared the crap out of everyone...

global propaganda( er, warming)

This AGW has now become a theatre of the absurd. Every day some new study or scientific paper comes up with a new malady which can be traced to global warming . People have become so used to the nonsense that it has no effect on the general public. Everyone just ignores the idiocy of the entire matter,

Last week Rush read on air a list posted online of I believe 600 websites which claims causality of everything from abnormal alfalfa to zygote disfunction. It is the giant sloptrough of liberal collective madness.

Laughter will destroy these pompous gasbags. Let us howl with laughter at their ridiculous prattlings.

WR, how many of those 600 websites discussed the Islamic terror

hysteria? Just curious.

hothouse flowers

Most young women, IMHO, live today as though they are hothouse flowers, protected and provided for by others who do the dirty, dangerous work for them (mostly men). So what's a little additional greenhouse gas to them?

Feminism is a Communist ploy to destroy family and undermine our society, begun in earnest by Communist party member Betty Goldstein (aka, Freidan). Because her Feminine Mistake (aka Mystique) relied on omissions, deceit and outright lies, I've no choice but to believe that global warming is a similar politically motivated hoax.

 

First it was hot flashes

First it was hot flashes and night sweats...now it's come to this....

My oh my... just how much more can we bear?

LMAO!

HOWL

I am announcing today the public formation of HOWL. The Husbands Of Working Ladies is a masculinist group dedicated to the freedom of men from the oppressive female dominated culture of reproduction. We are tired of the women having reproductive power and the superior position they occupy in the reproductive process.

We will be forming various commitees dedicated to fishing, snowboarding and skiing, hunting, motorcycling, and other decidedly masculine pursuits.  

 So far, (I must be frank here), the group consists only of my next door neighbor and me. We get together at 5:00 AM  MST to lift weights and solve the problems confronting the modern man.

Please send me a private e-mail if you are interested in joining us, because I have got to believe that there is liberation for us if we join together to fight the power. Brotherhood is powerful!

Love and joy to my brothers,

Franksam    

Liberals don't care what you do, as long as it's mandatory.  -Franksam

count me in

I have been doing that with my neighbors for a while, we don't lift wieghts but we do keep the beer industry in business.    I would love to start a Chicago chapter.

I thought male bonding. Was

I thought male bonding. Was sitting around drinking beer, telling jokes/lies, and looking at women. 

I never had to pay to take part in a male bonding seminar. Except when it was my turn to bring the beer. Except for once every 5 or 6 years when one friend would bring his bongos, none of used a drum.Or felt a need to. And none of us has an obsession with knives except when it's time to cut up the meat, sausage, or what ever we tossed on the grill.

For me it's usually Grolsch or Corona. Do I hear an international beer day coming up?

I'll be damned, 2 of my other fav.'s!  How about a Warsteiner or Guinness?  Definately, an international beer day is in order.  It is 3:15 here (CDT), probably wait another hour or so--------------but wait a minute, my Chiefs are getting ready to play; time to pop a top!

Warsteiner is to Deutches

Warsteiner is to Deutches bier as Miller or Bud are to American beer.  The other National German brand which I happen to prefer to Warsteiner is Bitburger.

If you want to drink German Pilseners, try Kulmbacher and Koenigs from Northern German or Spaten and Weihenstephaner if you like Munich style beer.

I like Jever and Holsten for heavily hopped beer.

Today, for me, it's Dinkel Acker!

And barbeque pork sandwiches -- the perfect infidel-combo!! Yum.

And Warsteiner, due to serious competition, is super-cheap in Panama.

Dinkel-Acker is more

Dinkel-Acker is more Meunchen/ south German style beer, except it is brewed in Schwaben, in Stuttgart, I think.  It's a lot like Hacker-Pschorr which is brewed in Munich, IMHO.

I have had Bitburger, good

I have had Bitburger, good stuff.  Veltins is another I like quite well.

Chicago HOWL

Sounds like you already have made good progress. I didn't mention beer, although we do our part to help the breweries survive the rigors of free market.

There are no dues, no cards, no officers, and no headquarters. Carry on and good luck to you.

More global warming nonsense

I am convinced that there are trolls sitting under a bridge coming up with this tripe.

As I have commented before - “follow the money”.

"Commit to sustainable and equitable financing scheme and ensure gender equity in all phases and aspects of funding.  

"Allocate 20 per cent of all donor funds for activities and projects addressing women and designed and implemented by women and gender experts."

Need I say more?

The Alarmist crowd tells you

The Alarmist crowd tells you to look carefully at the fuels industry money, but that you must pretend the torrent of taxpayer funds devoted to this cause are impartially allocated.  Self-delusionial bastards or outright liars one and all.

You know, I think it may be time to re-think this whole taxation thing ...

Damn it!

Where's that link to the web page posting all the things that "global warming" is causing when you need it! <fist pounds table> 

Just my $0.02

Check out Rush Limbaugh's

Check out Rush Limbaugh's web site.

During one of his recent programs he read a list as long as your arm of what global warming, according to 'experts', was supposed to be causing. 

It was hilarious.

poco... Indeed it was and

poco...

Indeed it was and he didn't even have time to get to 'em all!

It was outrageously funny....I couldn't stop laughing to hear all of them because it is true...and quite ridiculous.

Just when you think you've heard of it all the crazy leftist greenies think of more jive....

Once again Rush is

Once again Rush is right. Women are hardest hit. And that list just shows how absolutely nutty those on the other side are getting. 

"Where would we be without the agitators of the world attaching the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance?"

Rush Limbaugh? Now there's an expert

on global warming. He got punked by a global warming hoax report which he reported to the millions of geniuses who listen to him. Yeah, why would anyone listen to climate scientists when they can get their facts from Limbaugh. It makes sense to me.

 Al Gore's a scientist

 Al Gore's a scientist too? Man that guy's got more profession's than Buckaroo Banzai.

"Yeah, why would anyone listen to climate scientists when they can get their facts from Limbaugh. It makes sense to me."

Or the well-known climate scientist Al Gore, or Leo DiCaprio, or Laurie David. At least Rush corrected the record when he got it wrong. Algore and friends just continue the punking, and catastrophobes like yourself never seem to catch on.

Didn't Laurie David claim

Didn't Laurie David claim that a few cases of malaria turning up in Houston was "caused" by "Anthropogenic Global Warming"?

For a return of Malaria to Houston you only have to look to the environmentalist. That's their baby, no matter where they try to shove the blame.

♣ Laurie David

Well, she's certainly not going to blame it on the explosion of illegal immigrants flooding Houston.  That would be logical.

Though the probably

Though the illegals probably didn't help.

The cause is really directly on the shoulders of the environmentalist who once before pretended they had solid science.

Yes but American men will suffer more

Leave it to these 3rd worlders to try and make their plight the worst over "global warming, I instead put forward that it is American males who will suffer most from "global warming".

Picture before your eyes, the heat of a day in "global warming", and there before you is Whoopie Goldberg in a bikini seeking relief from the heat...........there seated beside you is Rosie O'Donnell sweating copius amounts of fungal producing persperation you are now inhaling as you eat your dripping ice cream...........and finally, all those "pretty" women like Elizabeth Hasselbeck who have born children will be stretch marked and saggy boobed and butted buying ice cream in front of you for their children.........

........and men we look up to as Adonis of male virtuehood like Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and certain Newsbuster heroic personages will all be in bluejean cutoffs, sun fried with farmer tans as they have been too busy for decades working to know what the sun even is.......

Is not all the above far worse than National Geographic women who are always neckid, suffering from commie regimes witholding food and water already whose only purpose in life is being baby machines as sex is the only pleasure they have in life as they do not know God.

American men will suffer more..........and it is time American men get at the head of the money train line and demand India, Bali and whoever else is whining that American men need the billions first before we go blind from seeing a neckid Whooper, puke forever in smelling Rosie O and find all our leaders suffering from sunburns as they too wince at Liz Hasselbeck all wrinkled up in a pain worse than sunburn.

United Nations just send my check to Newsbusters and they will forward it on to me. Thank you and I too now that foreign money is in it can think "global warming" is a thing to deal with as money is now coming into me.

When every liberal

When every liberal institutes the things they are demanding everyone else do, then we might be willing to at least listen to them.  But we know they are not willing to do that nor would that do anything to change the climate.  One wonders how much farther this stuff can go.  It is so far past credibility at this time, but it looks as if it is picking up speed.  This is not based in science but in arrogance and ignorance.

♣ Sex, a moot point

Now we got this transgender thing, I just wonder if we shouldn't drop the Women's rights bizness entirely.

Now that it's a choice and all.

.

.

Don't worry ladies; Global warming is "bunk"!!

Is the earth's overall temp rising; YES.

Should the 'scientific community' study it; YES.

Will they let us know when they find the cause; YES.

Does it make sense for the 'algore' to sell "global panic"; NO and anyone that believes him needs to re-think that decision.  Remember he invented the internet, was elected to Vice President twice and doesn't know a video frame from a window frame.  NOT your best advisor on global anything.

Happy trails. 

 

 

 

Women bear the brunt of climate change?

Well, if that's the case, don't they deserve it? I mean, isn't it their fault for bringing humans into the world via child birth. Don't they know they're supposed to abort their babies. Don't they further know that they're supposed to rebel against men and stop serving their needs and all become a bunch of Ellen Degenerates?

Women give birth to humans; humans cause 'climate change', climate change destroys the planet - thus, women destroy the planet, so if women bear the brunt of the disaster they in effect are causing, don't they deserve it?
