Largest all-female expedition braves Antarctica to fight inequality, climate change
By Umberto Bacchi
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The largest all-female expedition to Antarctica, comprising 76 scientists, is due to set sail from Argentina on Friday in a quest to promote women in science and highlight the impact of climate change on the planet.
The international team will brave sub-zero temperatures to undergo a 20-day bootcamp on the frozen continent aimed at developing their leadership skills and challenging male dominance of senior scientific roles.
Women make up only 28 percent of the world's researchers and are particularly under-represented at senior levels, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says.
Yet greater female leadership is needed to fight climate change, which disproportionately affects women, according to Fabian Dattner, co-founder of the Antarctica initiative, Homeward Bound.
"Mother Nature needs her daughters," said Dattner, an Australian entrepreneur and leadership coach.

Imagine when they all sync up. Good lord.
Sounds like the “frigid” types. Should do wonders for the ice pack.
Maybe they want to meet Sussie Snowflake or frosty the snowman!
The plumbing will be clogged.
These climate alarmists sure are a pathetic bunch.

“I guessing this will be the 3rd year(4th year?) in a row, some climate change fanatics will have to be rescued from the climate in Antartica.”

They picked the warmest time of year in the southern hemisphere to “brave” Antarctica. It’s summer there.
Hopefully they all freeze to death so we can have something to laugh about on a FReeper thread.
no kidding

Just hold a bake sale. LOL. Idiots.
I remember years ago before I retired, a third grader making a funny sarcastic remark about global warming. He knew it was a bunch of hooey. Afterwards he looked at me to see what my reaction would be, whether he would be getting a scold from his teacher. Not a chance. I smiled and gave him a wink.
The topper would be having them rescued by some men.
“Mother Nature needs her daughters,” - I think they can give them to her via jumping into a volcano, but I may be mistaken.
Haven’t hears that word since college. LOL!
Udderly stupid.
they forgot the other part of headline...
Complaints non-stop about cold, outfits, and lack of cell phone coverage.
yup.
Do you know how to turn a dishwasher into a snow thrower?
Take away her dish towel and hand her a shovel.
Kerry must be kicking himself for going there too soon. Mama T must be getting long in the tooth and it is time for him to pick his next victim.
