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.

Well, I don’t blame Justin Trudeau. I blame all the stupid turds that voted for him.
Yes but he is SO goodlooking………..I just cannot believe my ears when I hear women openly admitting to that as a reason for voting for pretty boy!
I got womansplained.
Facebook in the UK recognises 71 genders. I hope they are taking them all into account.
She is from the gender “stupid beyond belief.” However, her boss, Justin Trudeau, easily exceeds stupid beyond belief. There was a collective brain fart in Canada the night this government was elected. Methinks the smell will leave the country after the next election.
Don’t you just love it when their real agendas show themselves pathetically veiled as climobabble. That she is an idiot is not in doubt. That she uses her over promotion to this position as a platform for the real outcomes she and her string pullers want which are nothing to do with equality because how can you claim equality and actively promote only one gender? I get angry with this stuff because of the level of cynicism involved.
I am embarrassed to be Canadian
