Who knew that the push for Hotcoldwetdry solutions is sexist?
Hacking male-dominated environmental solutions
Numerous studies have highlighted differences between male and female responses to climate change.
About a year ago, San Francisco resident and Department of Environment employee Lavanya Deepak found herself sitting at a table with the venerable Patricia Espinosa. The United Nations Executive Secretary was in town to attend the Global Climate Action Summit, and explore ways to empower more women around environmental leadership. Wanting to “lean in†and earn her keep, Deepak spoke up.
“I said, we shouldn’t try to make women fit into a male-dominated world,†she repeated for me during a recent conversation. “Why don’t we just solve the problem, and show men how to get it done?â€
Deepak is starting the process. On September 18, the San Francisco Bay Area Women’s Environmental Network (WEN), which Deepak also chairs, is hosting a hackathon. The nonprofit organized the event to bring women together to deconstruct traditional male-dominated solutions to environmental problems, and develop a framework for a more inclusive future.
So Al Gore, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, etc, are all sexists? Huh
Numerous studies have highlighted differences between male and female responses to climate change. A recent report published in the journal of the National Academy of Sciences, for example, found that women experience mental health issues at a higher rate than men as temperatures climb above 86 degrees Fahrenheit. For low-income women, the incidence of mental health cases associated with elevated temperatures is two-times higher than high-income men.
Apparently, the temperature never went above 86 anywhere on the planet prior to the fossil fueled vehicle.
These mental health issues can manifest themselves in different ways, but anxiety is a common experience associated with climate change and environmental degradation. In fact, “eco-anxiety†is so prevalent among women that the WEN hackathon will focus specifically on the topic. This is one of the reasons Dr. Renee Lertzman, a renowned Bay Area psychologist, environmental researcher and communicator, plans to attend.
“When we experience ourselves as alone in having to solve all of this, that’s when eco-anxiety kicks in and can be debilitating,†Dr. Lertzman told me. “Having the experience of being a part of something bigger — a shift from a “me†to a “we†perspective — is critical to reducing anxiety. It may be literal — joining groups — or how we see our own acts as contributing to a larger picture way beyond our small selves.â€
Dr. Lertzman has studied the relationship between environmental crises and anxiety extensively, and believes women are more affected. Women, as generally more relational, may worry about how the climate crisis will impact their loved ones. Maybe a mother feels guilty about driving her kids around in a gas-powered car or buying them medicine in a plastic bottle. These feelings may trigger the experience of anxiety, particularly when alternatives aren’t clear.
Interesting. What they seem to be saying is that women are hot-house little flowers which are super weak and need to be protected. The Cult of Climastrology seems to be more sexist that thought.
This is why the upcoming WEN hackathon is so important. Our planet is continuing to heat up. Our forests are continuing to burn. We’re witnessing the sixth mass extinction, and whales with stomachs full of plastic are washing up on shore. Clearly, the traditional, European-colonist, male response to the climate crisis shouldn’t be our only approach. As Deepak said, not everyone fits into this world.
Bringing more voices to the table can help alleviate eco-anxiety, and bring us closer to a healthier, more sustainable world. And maybe women can solve the man-made problem our Earth faces.
The warming has little to do with Mankind. The others have nothing to do with climate. As for the solutions which are different than those offered by males, strangely, none are offered. It’s just “bringing more voices.”
“We as women communicate, organize, care and lead differently,†Deepak told me. “We are finally at a place where not only can we expect equality, we can do one better — thrive in our own unique way. It is time to normalize this to build diverse organizations and movements.â€
Sounds like it will be a 3rd Wave Feminism bitchfest where clapping and snapping fingers is not allowed, otherwise people get triggered. And no solutions or ideas will be offered.
So Al Gore, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, etc, are all sexists? Huh
Well, we know Zippy always preferred males.
“Our forests continue to burn..â€. You mean like they’ve done for how many hundred of millions of years? Scary.

BWAHA! LUV ya blue.
Poor little anti-fags.
Bet their ears are still ringing.
Lolgf losers.
TEACH typed: The warming has little to do with Mankind (sic).
Scientists disagree with your conclusion.
No, Fredo. Real scientists actually agree with his conclusion. It’s leftist commie politicians who disagree and idiots like you. We know Fredo, you’re smart, not like they say, stupid, you’re smart. Do you ever think for yourself or do you totally rely on being spoon fed CNN propaganda?
No, Asshole. Real scientists disagree with TEACH, nearly in unanimity. Do you ever think for yourself of do you totally rely on being spoon fed tRump, FOX and Pudendum propaganda?
What is your hypothesis for why the Earth is warming rapidly?
TEACH typed: So Al Gore, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, etc, are all sexists?
Nothing in the linked article suggested that. TEACH swings and misses again.
You are either staying deliberately misinformed, are ignorant or have another agenda that requires you to propagate this climate nonsense. Which is it?
From the NOAA:
“In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings.
USCRN temperature stations show no warming since 2005 when the network went online. If anything, U.S. temperatures are now slightly cooler than they were 14 years ago.
Raw temperature readings at the preexisting stations indicate temperatures are the same now as 80 years ago. All of the asserted U.S. warming since 1930 is the product of the controversial adjustments made to the raw data.
Climate activists frequently visit or mention particular regions, states, or places in the United States and claim warming impacts are evident, accelerating, and unmistakable. Yet how can that be when there has been no warming in the United States since at least 2005?
The obvious answer: catastrophic anthropogenic global warming is a hoax.”
Trump 2020 Stop the HOAX!!!
You forgot to link to the Heartland Institute Press Release. Heartland Institute is a (the?) leading denier org. If the source of your information embarrasses you that should tell you something.
Here’s a discussion with added data:
https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/44905/did-the-us-climate-reference-network-show-no-new-warming-since-2005-in-the-us
Even over the short timespan (12 years) and 2% of the Earth’s surface, the temperature trendline was still positive.
Did you know the US represents only about 2% of the Earth’s surface?
Note too, that global warming is global. As the mean global surface temperature increases, changes in the global climate occurs, shifts in ocean currents, shifts in jet streams etc. These global changes affect even the local weather patterns, such as droughts, deluges and flooding.
What you reference is the weather. It changes. The ocean changes. The clouds move. The jetstream dips and peaks. It speeds up and slows down.
El Nino and La Nina have been around for at least 2-3 million years since the last great warm period showed El Nino lasting for 100’s of thousands of years.
The great barrier reef is adjusting and doing just fine despite Austrailia(whacko liberals in action) claiming it is dying. They had to fire the guy in charge of researching it because after several decades his research concluded it’s doing marvelously well despite a slight increase in temperature and bleaching which should be killing the reef. Instead, it has actually increased in size.
The Ice melts and it grows back. All explained even as the warmist talk of dire consequences. Now their next great explanation is that if it snows or doesn’t its AGW. If it’s hot or cold, its AGW. If it rains too much or we are in a drought its AGW.
So your solution is to give us all universal health care, open borders to allow millions of people to flood into the United States and Europe or the west and destroy one culture in favor of another. You offer free education and a job for everyone and if they don’t want to work you’ll just pay them anyway.
I can see how this will solve AGW. Yep. This is a great solution to your CRISIS.
Fredo, wouldn’t you think that since so many people disagree on the exact cause of climate change ya might, just might wanna take a little time off from bitchin’ and INVESTIGATE? Here’s some new data for you. And it’s verified.
