Women and Climate Change

Current politics demands that every single disparate thread be woven into the creed's braid.




California Democrat Barbara Lee proposed a resolution in the House of Representatives that claims women will eventually be forced into prostitution since they face "disproportionately harmful impacts from climate change," this despite the fact that women are somehow "uniquely" capable of adapting to climate change.
Some representative insights include:
"Women will disproportionately face harmful impacts from climate change."
"'Food insecure' women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health."

"....despite a unique capacity and knowledge to promote and provide for adaptation to climate change, women often have insufficient resources to undertake such adaptation."

"...women are often underrepresented in the development and formulation of policy regarding adaptation to climate change, even though they are often in the best position to provide and consult on adaptive strategies."


This is right up there with too many military personnel tipping Guam over.

I think my favorite part is "food insecure."
