Women key to fight against climate change
Deutsche Welle ^ | March 6, 2018 | by Stefan Möhl

Posted on 03/06/2018 8:31:03 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Growing up in a South African township, Ndivile Mokoena realized early that women, children and society's poorest are hit hardest by environmental issues. Now she works for gender equality and climate justice globally.

Women are more likely to die as a consequence of drought, flooding or heat waves. And - as long as political and economic power lies with men - they will continue to find it more difficult adapt to dramatic changes in their environment resulting from climate change, says climate and gender activist, Ndivile Mokoena.

Mokoena works for GenderCC, an organization that promotes gender equality in climate protection worldwide. The South African engages internationally and in her home country to get women involved in climate policy and projects.

In Johannesburg, Mokoena helps educate women in urban farming practises, which she hopes will not only help them adapt to climate change but will also increase their independence.

Women are more likely to be duped by political scam artists tugging on their emotions.

There. Fixed it.

Solution: Purge the White People! Chase them out of South Africa! Hey, it worked for Zimbabwe! They don't worry about climate change in Zimbabwe anymore! Mostly they worry about food production.

See, women, children and minorities ARE hardest hit! Men, especially White men, according to this "article" are less likely to die from droughts, flooding, or heat waves. Gosh, who knew? (Outside of FReepers, that is.)

More likely, yes, but not all of us.

I suggest Mokoena use her brain and tackle family planning first. A lot less people would starve if these third world countries would lower their birth rates but they don’t have to. They will just export their excess populations to more stable and prosperous countries.

“Men, especially White men, according to this “article” are less likely to die from droughts, flooding, or heat waves.”

There is a good reason for this. Evil white men will spring into action independently to perform tasks and build things that will mitigate or even benefit from the new conditions. Women and minorities have to wait for white men to be coerced to provide these services, which can sometimes take a while.

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
1 Tim 2:11-15.

How many times do you hear this read in churches these days? The so-called "Women's Movement" is engineered by the spirit of antichrist. And many Christians and churches have submitted to this ungodly spirit.

Seems odd that someone who claims to “work for gender equality” thinks women are more gullible than men. I guess reducing energy (which harms everyone) is more important than gender equality to her.

Good gig if you can get it. Get wined, dined and jet-setted all over the world in exchange for regurgitated pre-packaged AGW pablum.

She doesn’t even have to BELIEVE it. She just has to SOUND like she believes it.

They are already chasing out the white folks out of S. Africa. I’m sure that country will be 10 times better off for doing that. Just look at how successful the other African countries have been when they did that {tribal warfare, genocide, children solders, no girls under 12 still virgins, not to mention governmental corruption.
