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):
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?
