Men Warm Globe, Women Feel the Heat
2005-12-06
The debate over climate change evolved into a battle of the sexes Monday at the 11th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference in Montreal. The spokesman for a feminist-based environmental group accused men of being the biggest contributors to human-caused "global warming" and lamented that women are bearing the brunt of the negative climate consequences created by men.
Global Warming cause hot flashes? Who knew?
"Women and men are differently affected by climate change and they contribute differently to climate change," said Ulrike Rohr, director of the German-based group called "Genanet-Focal point gender, Environment, Sustainability." Rohr, who is demanding "climate gender justice," left no doubt as to which gender she believes was the chief culprit in emitting greenhouse gasses.
That would us brutes
"To give you an example from Germany, it is mostly men who are going by car. Women are going by public transport mostly," Rohr told Cybercast News Service.
You couldn't blast my wife out of her sports car
Rohr was standing in front of her booth, which featured a banner calling for "creative gender strategies" from "rural households to global scientific bodies." "In most parts of the world, women are contributing less [to greenhouse gasses]," Rohr continued. But it is the women of the world who will feel the most heat from catastrophic global warming, she said.
So when your wife and/or girl friend asks; "Is it hot in here?", remember, it's your fault!

#11  SO are Canadians and aligned now demanding that Dubya, ala KATRINA/FEMA/GUMBO-GATE, unilaterally and unconditionally develop exclusive, Gender-specific, anti-Global Warming devices for females only, at American- and Federal-only costs of course - you know, Universal Anti-Gender Equalism!?

#10  Women give birth to men who spew more greenhouse gases who marry women who give birth to more gas-spewing...

My brain cell hurts...

If only it were an energy source, we'd never run out.

#4  My wife claims that I create more greenhouse gases on beanie-weenie night (that is, the nights I cook dinner) than some African countries do in a year. So, maybe this Rohr chick has a point.

The burkka will interfer with speed shifting the Porsche, so don't sweat it. Easier to get on and off the bus or tram in the outfit. Black absorbs the sunlight better too. The problem will be solved faster than UN conferences. Just sit back and wait. Its coming Ulrike for you soon enough.

#1  Here we try to keep the office temperature at 70 and it's really interesting the number of women who have small electric heaters under their desks because it's cold. I do admit that some men do as well. It's winter, wear more clothes.
