Canadian Climate Minister Urges Attention to the ‘Gendered Impacts’ of Climate Change, by Thomas Williams.

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.” …

Known to her critics as “Climate Barbie,” McKenna has dismissed the label as a “sexist insult.” …

In 2016, the Guardian newspaper launched the improbable theory that global warming is a “racist” crisis, perpetrated by wealthy whites against poor, vulnerable blacks. …

The following year, several news outlets accused Donald Trump of “environmental racism,” evidenced by his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord.

Not to be outdone:

Environmental activist Leehi Yona has written that… “Climate change isn’t just about the planet. It’s about justice: racial, social, socioeconomic, reproductive, and environmental,” she wrote. “It’s about immigration reform, LGBTQIA+ rights, and religious freedom.”

The old joke headline: “World to end tomorrow. Women and children worst affected.”
