Climate Gender Justice
The spokesman for a feminist-based environmental group accused men of being the biggest contributors to human-caused "global warming" and lamented that women are bearing the brunt of the negative climate consequences created by men.
"To give you an example from Germany, it is mostly men who are going by car. Women are going by public transport mostly," Rohr told Cybercast News Service. Rohr was standing in front of her booth, which featured a banner calling for "creative gender strategies" from "rural households to global scientific bodies."
"Women are frequently marginalized in a variety of ways ... Initiatives addressing adaptation to climate change require consideration of local customs while ensuring that all concerns and perspectives are voiced and valued," read signs at Rohr's booth.
More on this topic can be found at the Gender and Climate Change website. No lie!
The website calls for "a gender-sensitive criteria" for the Kyoto Protocol and for "global and national studies on the gender-differentiated impacts of global climate change, including a focus on gender differences in capabilities to cope with climate change adaptation, and mitigation are urgently required."

I did miss the story and was *dying* to make a snarky comment all day yesterday, but when I came to a feminist-based environmental group accused men of being the biggest contributors to human-caused "global warming", my natural sense of propriety and womanly good taste forbade me to take it any further... :D
My brain almost exploded from trying to hold back the snark, though.
