Climate Depot gives us a glimpse into the crazy world of the Gang Green. From the article:

"Gender Day

The United Nations proclaims that "Gender Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of gender-responsive climate policy and action as well as highlighting women’s leadership in climate action.”

Half of the bodies of governments Half of the bodies of governments sending representatives to COP24 have female representation of 38% or more. And "there is a record number of female delegates elected to the position of Chair or Co-Chair of these bodies…”

Encouraging the involvement of women in discussions at an international level may be a worthy goal, but the UN, as usual, takes it in a direction that doesn’t make too much sense. One of the panels held on Gender Day tried to answer the question: "How do we ensure that technology development and transfer contributes to gender-responsive climate policy and action?” What is gender-responsive climate policy and action? Well, according to the Gender Action Plan (GAP) of the UN COP:

Gender-responsive climate policy requires further strengthening in all activities concerning adaptation, mitigation and related means of implementation (finance, technology development and transfer, and capacity-building) as well as decision-making on the implementation of climate policies. The GAP recognizes the need for women to be represented in all aspects of the UNFCCC process and the need for gender mainstreaming through all relevant targets and goals in activities under the Convention as an important contribution to increasing their effectiveness.

If you were expecting easy to understand details from this document, look somewhere else.

Later, the GAP explains that a goal of the GAP is to make findings on the "Integration of gender considerations into adaptation, mitigation, capacity-building, Action for Climate Empowerment, technology and finance policies.…” It also says "Update report on how the Climate Technology Centre and Network” can "…ensure coherence and synergy within the Technology Mechanism…” and "…the development and transfer of technology, taking into account gender considerations.”

It sounds like even the United Nations can’t explain how women are impacted worse than men by supposed climate change."

End excerpts.

Last time I checked a vagina didn't act as an anchor, pulling someone to the bottom of flood waters. (Well, some men would disagree, but it's not a woman who gets dragged under in their scenario.) Actually, women float better than men because of a higher amount of body fat. If Global Warming is melting the ice caps and we are all going to be swimming for our lives it seems to me men are going to require more help...

This illustrates quite plainly how the AGW movement is political and not about science or economics.
