An article from April 2012 Mail Online noted that a French Green Party MEP, Nicole Kiil-Nielson, had declared that women are more at risk from global warming than men.
Women, claims Nicole Kiil-Nielsen, ‘consume more sustainably than men and show greater willingness to act to preserve the environment’ as they tend to organise household consumption and childcare.
This reminds me of an old joke told on Rush Limbaugh’s show many years ago (early 1990s). It goes like this:
God decided He was finally fed up with the human race and decided to end it for good. He called up a reporter at the New York Times to tell him the news: The world would end the day after tomorrow.
The reporter tried to talk God out of it, but God was firm and wouldn’t be swayed. The reporter then asked if he had an exclusive. God said that He was going to call three other newspapers.
Headlines the next day:
The New York Times: “God says world to end tomorrow; story and analysis on page B11.”
The Wall Street Journal: “God says world to end tomorrow; market to close early”
USA Today: “IT’S OVER!”
The Washington Post: “God says world to end tomorrow; women and minorities hardest hit.”
