Climate Change a 'Man-made Problem with a Feminist Solution' says Robinson
Voice of America ^ | June 18, 2018 | by Reuters

LONDON — Women must be at the heart of climate action if the world is to limit the deadly impact of disasters such as floods, former Irish president and U.N. rights commissioner Mary Robinson said on Monday.

Robinson, also a former U.N. climate envoy, said women were most adversely affected by disasters and yet are rarely "put front and center" of efforts to protect the most vulnerable.

"Climate change is a man-made problem and must have a feminist solution," she said at a meeting of climate experts at London's Marshall Institute for Philanthropy and Entrepreneurship.

"Feminism doesn't mean excluding men, it's about being more inclusive of women and - in this case - acknowledging the role they can play in tackling climate change."

Research has shown that women's vulnerabilities are exposed during the chaos of cyclones, earthquakes and floods, according to the British think-tank Overseas Development Institute.

In many developing countries, for example, women are involved in food production, but are not allowed to manage the cash earned by selling their crops, said Robinson.

Robinson served as Irish president from 1990-1997 before taking over as the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, and now leads a foundation devoted to climate justice.

No, the feminist solution is to abort more babies.

Another politician with the science knowledge of a journalist.
And, of course and almost by definition, dwelling comfortably on the left side of the Bell Curve.

So men are the problem. Again.
Does this feminist have a male husband?

When you put feminists in charge you get angry irrationality, and the problems get worse.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Climate Change a Man-made Problem

Made by this MAN, but it's a feature, not a problem.

“”The lack of access to financial resources can hamper their ability to cope with extreme weather, she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the sidelines of the event.””

Well, there you go! When women have access to THE CASH, they will be able to stop all manner of natural disasters. Can’t believe it’s taken us this long to learn that.

Man - talk about generalities! She made it to all her positions never pinning anything down? Nice work if you can get it and she apparently got it.

The feminists can go live in caves and light their farts for heat and light.

Making sexist remarks based on her own assumptions!

Who is she to define what sex (or gender) these individuals identify as?

Or to assume that they identify as a sex or gender at all!

For all she knows they may be Neuts or Convertables or whatever else they think they are.

Holy Toledo! Do libs do grab-back-potluck-ad-lib reporting or what? They must pull various subjects out of a hat to mix and match into articles.

“Children + Global Warming + Feminism” = Women need to have more abortions to protect the world from Man Made Global Warming. -—— “That’s GREAT, Phil! Run with that.”

Bingo. We have the winner!

Everything about the climate change scam is designed to reduce populations, either by starvation (the GMO and vaccine lie, the Silent Spring lie, etc), misery (reduction in portable energy sources, government land grabs, etc), or birth prevention (abortion, social engineering, etc).

The Elites don’t need so many serfs and they want us to stop reproducing except for the ones they need to serve them.

Climate change is a man-made fantasy.

Since it’s not a problem, there is no solution.
