Really? I guess this explains Mary Magdalene during the Roman Warm Period.
Several House Democrats claim that trace amounts of carbon dioxide could push women to ‘transactional sex’ for survival
Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to “transactional sex” for survival.
…
Climate change could also add “workload and stresses” on female farmers, which the resolution says produce 60 to 80 percent of the food in developing countries.

No wonder polls are showing a lack of support for climate issues, even the dumbest voter can see through this.

Not to worry. If it happen’s, ObamaCare will pay for birth control.
However, the IRS will need to come up with a way to track income. Be sure to issue a W-2 if you do more than $500 in transactions with a climate change hooker in any given fiscal year, or you [] face a stiff fine or penalty. You may even do hard time over a criminal violation.
If true, Clinton had a different reason than “She let me”.
I sense the “race card” fast approaching. It won’t be long now…
Friends:
This is another example of the many claims of “climate change” forcing women into prostitution.
This example is an official UN document.

I believe the headline has a misprint. It should read:
“Dem resolution hoping climate change could push women to ‘transactional sex’”
Makes more sense this way.
Couldn’t the same argument be used against carbon taxes? Poor women will have to resort to prostitution just to pay their inflated utility bills.
They already did that with the normalization of “friendship with benefits,” a byproduct of the so-called “sexual revolution.” Not only did they encourage women to prostitute themselves, but they also created a dissociation of risk with abortion rights, in order to ensure that women would remain available for sex… and taxation.
So, women went from “barefoot and pregnant” to “barefoot, pregnant, exploited, and taxed”. All that was necessary for this transformative change was to deny human dignity and normalize elective abortion (i.e. devaluation of human life), which in the latter case certainly, is a violation of evolutionary fitness.
You have a come long way, Baby! You made the wrong choice. Dreams of material, physical, and ego instant (or immediate) gratification cannot be fulfilled without consequences. People have to set priorities in their lives, and self-moderate their behavior accordingly.
How unfortunate that the magnificent being who was Mary Magdalene has needed throughout the centuries to cloak herself against such thoughtless, baseless aspersions against her perfect and divine self.
Mark and two Cats says: “Well it sure turns climate scientists into whores…”
But it hasn’t seduced the “objective impartial (ho ho)” BBC, as Alex Kirby called them.
Louis:
It’s not just inflated utility bills; although, the misrepresentation of “green” technologies has certainly contributed to a misallocation of resources. For several decades, perhaps longer, there has been approximately a 3% per annum inflation. This is a cumulative debasement of currency, which is realized as a progressive devaluation of capital and labor. Today, that rate is around 8% as the Federal Government has seen fit to maintain trillion dollar deficits. This is just one of many mechanisms by which the market is undermined and pricing of products and services is distorted, which typically means inflated. The most obvious example of progressive inflation is, of course, observed in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. The effects of which are marginalized or obfuscated through insurance programs and government intervention, which the latter, paradoxically, is also responsible for manufacturing and sustaining.
They must be taking the crack. It’s the only explaination I can come up with. They are delusional.
Climate Change turns women into hookers?
‘….I guess this explains Mary Magdalene during the Roman Warm Period….’
There is nothing in the Bible about Mary Magdalene being a prostitute. The woman taken in adultery is not named.
About Mary Magdalene ……it simply says Jesus cast seven [unspecified] devils out of her.
And it’s the identical 50/50 chance that:-
“Climate change could also reduce “workload and stresses” on female farmers, which the resolution says produce 60 to 80 percent of the food in developing countries.”
I thought it could only turn some scientists into prostitutes.
Probably a new record for climate alarmism stupidity !
Talk about a weakly veiled far left wing political statement!
Well, anybody knows that lack of better employment opportunities drives women into sex work.
Since greening the economy is going to destroy jobs, I think the opposite is true, that is, building windmills will drive women into sex work. Of course, if men don’t have jobs, they can’t pay for the services of such women. But, when young men are flush with cash, there is never a shortage of women to relieve them of that cash. Supply? Demand? It’s all so complicated. I need a grant to make a computer model of this. After I do some research.
All kidding aside, this government is hopeless.
I am surprised they didn’t use the rationalization that ‘increased temperatures will pressure people into nocturnal lifestyles wearing skimpy clothing. which will keep them out of day jobs and professional positions requiring professional attire.’
Well, I don’t know about Climate change forcing women into “transcational sex”, but i could see misguided Climate Change polcies that result in skyrocketing fuel costs forcing them into hooking for the money pay their heating bills.
There is underlying all this a serious point – and the jokes here about more hookers being a good thing are in terrible taste.
The serious point is that changes in climate, whether warming or cooling, do affect different sections of the population differently. In England every winter the old die, at least partly from cold houses which they cannot afford to heat. In France in the last very hot summer the old died from heat.
Warming if it happens will benefit the temperate and northern countries, and will have a negative effect on borderline temperate to hot. Cooling, if it happens as the Russians are now predicting, will have very bad effects on borderline far north countries. Real cooling will kill huge numbers of old people in the UK prematurely. Which will be exacerbated by their crazed subsidies to wind and solar, which are levied on electricity prices.
Serious thought about this does require some consideration of the underlying point. And actually, if warming were real, and if it had the bad effects on the third world that the alarmist say, it really might increase prostitution, and that would be a very bad thing indeed. I don’t believe it will happen. I don’t believe the effects will be as advertised. But if they were, it would affect poor women worse than any others, and poor regions worse than any others.
For those women unsure about the nature of transactional sex and concerned that climate change may leave them with that as their only recourse… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVnve5wG0A

CO2, the magic gas! Is there nothing it can’t do?
I suppose next we’ll find out that climate change causes the dead to rise…. I’d do a Google search but I’m afraid, very afraid.
===========================
Now you know what will start the Zombie apocalypse!
Has anyone analysed by latitude? Michael Mann might be able to use this data historically to reconstruct a global temperature history. A counter example might be the Little Ice Age when it was the only way to stay warm ;>)
Where can I get me some of this “climate change” and is it illegal to spike my dates’ drink with it?
Case study: Former Soviet countries.
An immense amount of adult material now comes from those countries. In some cases women can earn in a day what would otherwise be literally a year’s income. Obviously the temptation is strong.
Anyone with even a whit of sense knows that it’s poverty that pushes women in that direction, and as others have noted the constantly rising price of merely staying warm, having light, and being able to drive or take transit is having that effect.
If Barbara Lee was actually worried about starvation in the 3rd world she’d not only end the ethanol mandate that’s burning over 1/3 of US corn crop in our gas tanks – she’d be joining Oxfam to petition against bio-fuel. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/media-centre/press-releases/2012/09/biofuels-driving-up-prices. Bio-fuel is a means for rich countries to buy food right out of the mouths of starving 3rd world children and ‘feed’ it to their automobiles.
