The Democratic party has found a new consequence of climate change: prostitution. Rep. Barbara Lee and twelve other House Democrats issued a resolution stating that climate change can cause food and water shortages, which could lead impoverished women to turn to prostitution as a means of income:
“[I]nsecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health,” it says.
More broadly, the resolution says climate change will hurt “marginalized” women, such as refugees, sexual minorities, adolescent girls, and women and girls with HIV. It also cites Hurricane Katrina as evidence of how climate change can affect women, noting that the storm displaced “over 83 percent of low-income, single mothers” in the region.
The purpose of the resolution was to call on Congress and the President to “recognize the effects on women, and to use ‘gender-specific frameworks in developing policies to address climate change.’”
In the grand scheme of things, this resolution doesn’t really accomplish anything or make much of a difference. However, it does epitomize the way that our culture uses climate change as an explanation for everything these days, while masking (and therefore hindering) the real problem.

Oohhh, okaaaaayy psychopath lunatic morons.
Whateva you saaaaaayy...
how can one possibly write “gender-specific frameworks” and “climate change” in the same sentence!!?!?!??
...surely setting up a “framework” that is “gender specific” would be unconstitutional? oh that’s right, so long as it’s not for “men only” then it’s ok....
That said, while very stupid, go and Google “radfem piv”. You’ll see some of the most insane people & opinions I’ve ever heard....this is tame!
And the bottom-feeding commie DemocRAT politicians are the pimps.
Cold weather can lead to snuggling for body warmth.
Warm weather can lead to bikinis.
In other news, the Climate Change Creation Group today announced that it had tied foot odor, barking dogs, and idiots who can’t complete a freeway merge to Global Warming as well.
One of the dumbest headlines of 2014 so soon?
It was taking forever for the link to come up, so I gave up on the article. But, to satisfy my curiosity, is Sheila Jackson Lee one of the supporters of this ridiculous piece of legislative time-wasting?
If anyone knows about prostitution it’s the democrats.
These Democratic women are making $174,000 a year! How can they say that they are “impoverished”?
I know! And these people are OUT THERE!!! ...then I think about them being involved in things, like law and education!
I don’t think they’ve considered that if their point of view were correct, the human race wouldn’t last very long. LOL....stunning.
Pull my finger ping, thanks Beave Meister.
According to Tumblr, the sex trades are noble professions.
These democrats are slut-shaming, which is considered a form of sexual abuse.
lol
CORRECTION!
It turns Democrats into prostitutes. Then again...oh skip it.
I suppose some DUmmies looked at the Eskimos/Inuit and figured cold weather is why we never hear of prostitution among them.
On the other hand, alcoholism is a serious problem . . .
All their IQs added together, would be about equal to that of a garter snake.
