A number House Democrats have written a resolution(PDF) calling on Congress to recognize that climate change will hurt the plight of women more than men; driving women into “transactional sex” for survival — among other horrible fates.
Now, nothing causes more transactional sex than poverty, and few conditions bring more poverty to women around the world than limiting capitalism and free trade. One wonders if a poor woman in say, Bangladesh, would be happier and healthier with a car, an air conditioner and processed food rather than that light carbon footprint they now carry? I wish they had a choice.
So next time you hear how free-market types are anti-science, think about these selections from a resolution dreamed up by Rep. Barbara Lee and friends (via The Hill):
… and so on.

Fascinating.
How do they come up with this stuff?
It is really difficult to sell people on a North Korean style socialist dictatorship?
Two thirds of Americans are now really this stupid?
The writers are now really this stupid?
The devil made them?
That’s about all I could come up with.
Apparently my level of responsibility depends on the issue.
Abortion: “What women do with their own bodies is none of your business.”
Global Warming: “What women do with their own bodies is your fault.”
Democrat women just looking for an excuse!
There is no cure for such stupidity.

Notice how “early marriage” equates to “sex work” and “transactional sex”?
Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
They just throw absolutely everything against the wall and hope something sticks.
They're like little babies when they don't get their way. Everything about liberalism is based on nonsense.
What a bunch of .......
PING!
No, you are confusing two different things. Management 101 says that “There should never be any separation of responsibility from authority.” That is, If you do not have authority to control a situation, you should not be held accountable for what happens there. Common sense.But of course, nobody actually wants responsibility, they only want authority. And so people with power are always trying to slough off the responsibility which should go with it.
So here we are, without power and authority, desperately trying to keep those who do have the power and authority from sloughing off the responsibility onto us.

This is bad how????
Or better yet how could anyone believe it...and there are plenty who do. Its Idiocracy in real life!
Got news for everyone, instead we are entering a mini ice age.
Winter is still here in some parts of America and NOT just in Alaska.
Actually winter is in Colorado longer than it usually lasts in Alaska, coldest spring ever all across the country, summer will be just a fraction of what it is, my prediction.
I used to do tease stuff like this. No I ain’t going into David Harsanyi’s or Humanevents links to find out who the fools were that signed on to this lesson in stupidity and waste of time. But if I had this info their names would be in the lead sentence.
