Isn’t it funny how the methods to deal with anthropogenic global warming always seem to revolve around Someone Else Doing Something? Ms. Weaver, a wonderful actress, is over at the Huffington Post giving us A Secret Weapon for Fighting Climate Change: Empowering Women
Over the past month, I have been speaking to women in Canada and the American Midwest about a powerful force that discriminates against us. I am not talking about the glass ceiling or sexists bosses, although we all know those still exist. I am talking about climate change.
You might think that a force as sweeping as global warming would be an equal opportunity threat: that it would endanger men and women alike. But the fact is climate change exacts a heavier toll on women.
Women produce up to 80 percent of the food in the developing world. Drought and unpredictable rains brought on by climate change will make this work far more precarious. Women will have to labor harder and longer to ensure their families have food, fuel, and water.
Our role as caretakers puts us at even greater risk in times of extreme weather. Studies have found that women are 14 times more likely to die as a result of storms and other extreme weather than men.
Interesting. What did women do in the past when the climate changed….oh, sorry, I forgot, in Climate Alarmist World, the climate has been stagnant for the past 4.5 billion years.
If you ask people the tools we need to stop climate change, most talk about wind and solar energy, fuel efficient cars, and biofuels. But there is another solution that is not so widely known: empowering women.
Empowering women sounds like a good idea, especially since they are treated like 2nd class citizens in so many of the 3rd world sh*t holes, er, developing nations, around the world. Especially in the Muslim dominated ones. Sometimes, women are worth less than the farm animals, so, raising their stature, treating them as equals, like in the developed world, would be fantastic…..what’s that? That’s not what Sigourney is talking about?
Most women and girls want more control over how and when they build their families, and most development organizations support that aim. Now researchers also recognize that what is good for women is also good for the planet.
Two groundbreaking studies, one from the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research and one from the Futures Group, found that simply by meeting women’s existing needs for voluntary family planning, we could reduce carbon emissions by between 8 and 15 percent.
That is the equivalent of stopping all deforestation today.
Family planning is simply a liberal euphamism for abortion on demand, a subject I generally avoid. Yet, this is a method pushed by Warmists and extreme environweenies as a means to reduce greenhouse gas output and “sustainability”, along with reduction of resource usage. Essentially, population reduction. This way, Warmists do not have to actually make changes in their own lives, but can say they are Doing Something by getting others to take action.
Sigourney also goes on about getting Congress and business leaders to Do Something. Perhaps she could tell us what she is doing in her own life.
Funny how so many Alarmists are starting to sound like one of their favorite people, Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood, and was an avowed racist and bigot, believed in eugenics, and wanted Blacks and other minorities eradicated by giving them access to abortion and other reproduction limiting methods.

Want to shut this Hollywood dingbat up real quick? Hire someone to secretly follow her around for a couple days and record her driving habits, her gigantic home, her cars, boats, plane trips, etc.
Well, she’ll probably say that she purchases carbon offsets, like Gore, Prince Charles, etc, and that following her around is a distraction from the true reality of climate change (or something like that)
Actually this follows, somewhat, what I feel is the real answer to the presumption of global warming secondary to CO2 production. My thought is that we have too many people on the earth. So if we indeed have too much CO2, it is secondary to the excess people. Those that are liberal feel that the earth is more important than our wealth, economy and well being. So the answer is for liberals, those believing this junk science, should stop producing CO2. In short, mass suicide, of liberals, would be of benefit to the whole world.
