Catherine McKenna, Canadian minister for the Environment and Climate Change is training “woman negotiators” to combat global warming.
Canadian Climate Minister Urges Attention to the ‘Gendered Impacts’ of Climate Change
by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 10 Mar 20183407
Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change is urging environmental activists to address the “gendered impacts” of climate change, especially its effects on women and girls.
In a recent post on Twitter, Catherine McKenna, the 47-year-old Trudeau appointee from Canada’s Liberal Party, called on followers to “consider the gendered impacts of climate change on women, girls and children” while praising Canada’s leadership in training “women negotiators” in the fight against manmade global warming.
Apparently, at least in the minister’s mind, the weather is now waging its own “war on women.”

…
I am shocked by the narrow minded gender insensitivity displayed by Catherine’s comment.
How can you possibly consider the gendered impacts of climate change without also considering the transgendered impacts of climate change? Why restrict the training program to women negotiators when there are so many other under-represented genders? Of course I am using the word transgendered in its broadest sense, no offence intended to people who identify as perigender, vapogender or any of the constantly growing list of other genders.

Apparently, any male who’s ever worked on an oil rig, or in a coal mine (even if they’ve never ever seen a woman in their life), can now be guilty of s•e•x•ual assault.
Drilling for oil = raping Gaia.
As millennials would say: literally.
Transgender woman in the bathroom:
“Just ignore that.”
Since women make up the majority of the human species it is scientifically incorrect to refer to manmade global climate change. “Womanmade climate change” you sexists.
Why not: “Whoever–you–Identify–as “made Global Climate Change and/or Warming.
Now that about covers it.
According her bosses way of thinking, the Castro and Mao loving soyboy, junior Trudeau, that should be, people made climate change.
Peoplekind.
Right you are.
what about us transsexual lesbians? and trans-race and trans-age?
if gender is an accident of birth then why not age and race. who is to say an ancient white man isn’t actually a hot young Oriental female with an interest in same? surely it is discrimination to not acknowledge this.
after PM trudoze playing Mr dress-up in India and being seen globally for the fool he is, nothing. should surprise us about the current government.
Yeah, Trudeau did kind of make a fool of himself over in India, didn’t he. This is called “cluelessness”.
And caused his wife and children to do the same. Child abuse.
…and out of the other side of their mouth….they say we’re all equal and don’t need special treatment
This discussion is almost as good as the Feminist Glaciology thread for sheer snark.
We can easily see what happens when you place people in positions based on gender rather than merit. This sexist bungling disgrace is just one example of what we have to contend with here in Canada under this Liberal government.
The “Gender Impact” of Man-Made CO2 has been Hugely Positive for Women
Identify politics have infected climate science, but this is a case where you had better be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

What exactly are the “Gendered Impacts’ of Climate Change”? She failed to point them out in her tweet.
It’s all just another emotional appeal to promote CAGW. The Alarmists are flailing around in every direction to try to find something that will successfully sell the CAGW narrative. So now they try to make it out to be a gender thing.
They keep trying to sell CAGW but nobody is buying. That must be frustrating for the Alarmists.
I see “Appeal to Gender” as just one of many “Appeals to Emotion” that the Alarmists have in their kit bag. And yeah, it has gotten old, but it’s all they’ve got.
Yep, sad, very sad, but true.
“… Golgafrincham is a red semi-desert planet that is home of the Great Circling Poets of Arium and a species of particularly inspiring lichen. Its people decided it was time to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population, and so the descendants of the Circling Poets concocted a story that their planet would shortly be destroyed by a giant mutant star goat. The useless third of the population, consisting of hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, management consultants, telephone sanitisers, and the like, were packed into the ‘B-Ark’, one of three purported giant Ark spaceships, and told that everyone else would follow shortly in the other two. The other two thirds of the population, of course, did not follow and “led full, rich and happy lives until they were all suddenly wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a particularly virulent telephone”.
The B-Ark was programmed to crash-land on a suitably remote planet on one of the outer spiral arms of the galaxy, which happened to be Earth, and the Golgafrinchan rejects gradually mingled with and usurped the native cavemen, becoming the ancestors of humanity … ”

Take a guess where it landed?
I must apologize to Catherine McKenna. I realize how right she is. It’s simple: women, and especially children, are shorter than men. So, when the sea level rises from climate change, well, they go burbling under water first. Sorry, Catherine, I was too stupid to realize this.
I wouldn’t fret about it to much. When climate Barbie goes dancing, she straps on her jackboots and does the goosestep.
High-heeled jackboots.
This is such an absurd reach that women will recognize this as transparent attempt at identity politics. All but the most gullible or political women are far smarter than to fall for this nonsense and have more pride than to feign acceptance this sex pandering as a legitimate issue.
All I can think of is, that’s the face of vacuity.
More proof that climate change has NOTHING to do with the environment.
Unable to logically provide information on climate change this woman desperately resorts to the typical leftest approach of resorting to claims like racism, or women’s rights devoid of the facts of how constantly demeaning men has a negative impact and American men are actually in crisis.
Tucker Carlson provides some inconvenient facts.

She has a valid point. Should the alarmists agenda pass and the world descend into the energy poverty they desire, poor children and women are likely to suffer the most.
Exactly how do you figure the woman and children will suffer more … what exactly are the men doing at this point living on another planet?
Yes. Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars.
Men are from Earth women are from earth. Deal with it.
Men are from Mars and feminists are from REEEEEEEEEEEE
ITs a matter of income, single women supporting children are likely to have less money available to pay for the ridiculously high prices of renewables.
I’ve read that global warming is turning all sea turtles into females. Is that what he’s talking about?
“When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail.”
By analogy, when the only thing you think you understand is gender, everything begins to look sexist.
When the only intellectual tool you have is an appeal to emotion, everything begins to look “ist”.
(I have a nail-gun & air compressor).
Well the article did say that it was “manmade” climate change, which shows that it is obviously an assault on women. I am surprised that Trudeau did not specify that it was “peoplemade” climate change, but then again, he may agree it is all men’s fault.
Quote: “Of course I am using the word transgendered in its broadest sense, no offence intended to people who identify as perigender, vapogender or any of the constantly growing list of other genders.”
I don’t thing an apology is necessary to those mentally ill people who can’t figure out their own gender by taking a quick peek into their own drawers.
‘a quick peek into the FRONT of their own drawers’ – with cases like these you must be specific!
(Slightly OT re gender & climate)
Let’s take the ‘Canada and CO2’ argument (in the Warmists’ eyes) to its logical conclusion.
If CO2 were the control knob; and if reducing CO2 lowered global temps; and if lowered temps reduced the margin between current climate and the next glacial onset…wouldn’t a push to reduce CO2 by Canadians arguably be a push to hastening their own demise by inviting the Ice to ‘march again’ and cover the bulk of its land?
Seems to me that anyone who loves Canada would push for exactly the opposite… (btw I am not saying I buy into that cause/effect.)
As a woman, I can tell you that I do not support this in any way shape or form. And as a man, I think its pretty daft too.
I look at Barbie and I identify a new gender, the CondecenderGender
As a Canadian, I’m embarrassed. But it makes perfect sense that anyone dumb enough to believe in an anti-male gender supremacist hate ideology would also be a Luddite when it comes to science(with apologies to Luddites).
Expect no less from Climate Barbie!
Let’s find a place where we can welcome all the Socialists in the world so they can gather in one place to live their ideology. We can call it Venezuela. Next we can find a place where we can welcome all the people that believe sexual identity is fluid and they can make up their own minds and have other people pay for their self identified sexual fantasy (not to be confused with those that know what their sexual identity is and don’t feel the need for others to know). We can call it California. Last on the list is a welcome spot for all the people that believe using fossil fuels is a crime against humanity. We’ll call it Africa. Problems solved.
The STOOOPID runs very deep among LEFTISTS.
At least the truly stupid have an excuse sometimes. Not so for the smart-stupid, or smarpid.
