EVEN climate change cannot escape the gender wars. Now Swedish men are being blamed for having a disproportionately large impact on global warming.

The finger is squarely pointed at men in "A study on gender equality as a prerequisite for sustainable development" by Gerd Johnsson-Latham of the Swedish Ministry of Sustainable Development.

One might assume they only mean caucasian men...it’d be racist of them if they included men of any other racial background.

It’s really Bush’s fault.

He’s a white male. Liberals males don’t contribute to global warming. LOL!

Yes, I’m guilty of all those things with the added matter of, shall we say, producing “personal gases”, And, no, I don’t plan to change or apologize.

This significantly adds to the credibility of the Global Warming Debate! I am now convinced, no doubts, nada, zilch!

Actually it’s REALLY all the womens’ fault, because they keep giving birth to more men!!

I guess it’s time to just stop civilization completely and go back to living in caves.

What should the Earth's temperature be?

By definition, whatever temperature it would be if
(1) there is nothing resembling capitalism in operation in any nation
(2) The UN has dominion over the world, including America
(3) corporations are globally outlawed
(4) private property is criminalized, with all property belonging to the government (ie the UN)
(5) the human growth rate is negative
(6) everyone follows a vegan diet
(7) men carry purses, wear makeup, and suffer from artificial PMS (twice a month)
(8) all animals have human rights
(9) religion (except neo-paganism, Wicca, New Age, New Thought, hippy "Buddhism", Taoism, and Unitarian Universalism) is outlawed
(10) licenses are required for reproduction, with strict racial and socioeconomic quotas in place, and comprehensive thought-testing to make sure no subversives (conservatives, libertarians) have children
(11) the minimum wage is no less than 75% of the maximum wage; nobody is allowed to have less than 90% or more than 110% of the mean global savings in any liquid asset (except for those receiving reparations for American/British slavery/imperialism/racism/war/invasion)
(12) any war requires a 9/10 superdupermajority vote by the UN
(13) private firearm ownership is outlawed (except for UN bodyguards, Hollywood bodyguards, ...)
(14) strict "hate speech" laws are in place (PC speech codes determined by vote of liberal arts and humanities professors, actors, UN delegates, journalists, and other "luminaries"), including the elimination of all literature touching positively upon capitalist, Christian, masculine, libertarian, conservative, and similar topics)
(15) people, especially gays, can openly fornicate in the streets, in schools, and anywhere else
(16) pedos can f*** little boys and girls, any age, anytime, anywhere
(17) abortion is globally legal for any reason, at any time, any frequency, using any method (unless a panel of civil-rights lawyers rules otherwise). Infanticide of any non-protected classes is legal up to age 5.
(18) Smoking tobacco anywhere is punishable by prison, but marijuana, cocaine, meth, and other narcotics are government subsidized
(19) free healthcare for everyone, with mandatory government-imposed mental and physical health screening and "treatment"
(20) there is a global currency, global uninhibited immigration, and a global democracy



If these conditions are satisfied, any temperature is acceptable.
