“Climate change could reduce income from farming and fishing, possibly driving some women into sex work and thereby increase HIV infection," Mukherjee said during the Wednesday launch of the UNFPA annual State of World Population Report in Pasay City."
I’ve almost become immune to nutters using women and children as a cheap-shot to push their arguments; it has practically got to the point where starving children and prostitutes deserve their own fallacy. But really, this takes the cake. Global warming being linked to women being forced into prostitution. The term “Bleeding Heart” liberal has never been so appropriate, although, I suppose its fitting for the times we’re in.
Their suggested solutions, although with the wording they uses it means absolutely nothing but could be used to justify almost anything:
Bring a better understanding of population dynamics, gender and reproductive health to climate change and environmental discussions at all levels;
Fully fund family planning services and contraceptive supplies within the framework of reproductive health and rights, and assure that low income is no barrier to access;
Prioritize research and date collection to improve the understanding of gender and population dynamics in climate change mitigation and adaptation;
Improve sex-disaggregation of date related to migration flows that are influenced by environmental factors and prepare now for increases in population movements resulting from climate change; and
Integrate gender considerations into global efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
What’s this, the statists wish to foist their “solutions” on the developing world yet again? Aren’t these the same people who actively dissuade nations from industrializing or extracting and processing their natural resources. The same people who undermine developing economies through trade subsidies, tariffs and imperial imposition? Who champion the most corrupt regimes on Earth as models of democracy and “freedom”?
Is anybody surprised developing countries wish to milk global warming “reparations” for all they’re worth?
The fallacy is in suggesting that cliimate change may drive X to do Y.
Climate change may drive women to take up line-dancing en mass, it’s possible, right? So adopt our UN 40-point line dancing mitigaiton program, just in case. [:S]
We can’t allow climate change to force even one more woman into prostitution through lowered income!!!
You greedy capitalists forcing global warming on us!!!
The evils of global warming reducing income…
I mean what does global warming think it is???
Lowering income is the governments job!!!
Global warming is obviously an attempt by capitalists to challenge state run universal poverty and should be regulated in order to make sure that it can’t make a profit!
