Well I DEMAND equal impact or I'm suing manbearpig. What do we want? Equal climate impacts! When do we want it? NOW! Tired of being screwed ov............ Oh. 🍿🍻😹. Never mind.

do people actually get paid to write this nonsense?

Saul Alinsky.....

"...all climate action will include gender equality..."

That tired old cliche just won't work anymore....the U.N. won't clean up the memberships tribal and cultural non-equality....again the USA has done, again, an admirable job....the UN can't even or won't censure N. Korea for dangerous ambitions i.e., nuclear threats.

More women than men prefer the thermostat set a little higher so women would actually benefit more.

To make sure that all climate action will include gender equality, the governments will agree on a Gender Action Plan. In the next two years, the plan will aim to increase the number of female climate decision-makers, train male and female policymakers on bringing gender equality into climate funding programmes, and engage grassroots and indigenous women’s organisations for local and global climate action.

Wow. How could the entire world get infected with such staggering idiocy in such a short amount of time? Not that long ago, the free World was in an existential battle against the Axis powers, then spent decades rebuilding the ruins and devastation of WW II, then defeating communism. Now this?

These daily blatherings really make it seem like we are doomed in ways the Nazis, Fascists, and Commies never dreamed of.

A surprising bit of honesty. The movement isn’t about the best way to stop warming.

All sorts of groups can (and do) attach themselves to “the movement”. It’s a man-made host which all types of parasites can feed off for whatever agenda they want: Wealth redistribution; Gender equality; Carbon brokers; “Scientists”. So much money, attention and power to go around. Anyone can join the party by just agreeing to believe.

“Environmental defenders are being killed at the rate of almost four a week across the world, a staggering toll that disproportionately affects female activists and indigenous leaders.”

Here is an example of extreme journalism masking activism. Read that sentence a few times. What is it trying to say? First, there is only an implied premise, and a false one at that. Second, what/who is an "environmental defender"? What is considered a "staggering toll"? Killed is a specific term implying they are being murdered because of...defending the environment? Then there is the FACTUALLY stated supposition that somehow females and "indigenous leaders" are victims of all the aforementioned conditions and issues.

Liberals bring linguistic artistry to incredibly imaginative levels. Hitler could only dream of propaganda delivered with this level of prowess.

Why did men ever give women the right to vote?

Women could help by having fewer shoes.

Seems to me that they want to involve as many people as possible who know as little as possible about the subject so as to be able to sway the outcome as much as possible.

Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

The women of the Marshall Islands and the Pacific have been fighting colonialism and injustice for a long time.

And, y'know, imaginary sealevel rise is all part of the racist sexist white privileged colonialist patriarchy injustice hegemony.
