Women, particularly those living in the mountainous regions in developing countries, face disproportionately high risks to their livelihoods and health from global warming, says a U.N. report on Climate Change.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report titled ‘Women at the Frontline of Climate Change: Gender Risks and Hopes' says investing in low-carbon and efficient green technologies, water harvesting and fuel wood alternatives can strengthen climate change adaptation and improve women's livelihoods.
The report was released at the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP17) in Durban, South Africa, according to a press release issued by the ICIMOD (International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development) headquartered in Kathmandu.
Impacts of climate change, such as droughts, floods and mud slips are affecting a growing number of people worldwide, according to the report.

The only thing missing is an article showing that white-males contribute more than their fair share of CO2.
NASCAR pics would prolly work.

It’s true. Each movie and every story about Mexico, the Caribbean, and other areas known for their warm weather features a disproportionate number of young, beautiful women - frequently with little or no clothing to protect them from the sun’s heat.

As a female Floridian,
I get to wear skirts or dresses and open-toed shoes to work. The men have to wear pants and regular, hot shoes.
But really, the question is: Would Laz hit those who have already been hit hardest?

Does Laz even wear pants?
