It’s shameful that any single man is involved in global warming at all. Men are supposed to prize righteousness and the truth over money – especially over so little money as you get as a global warming shill.
Women, conversely, lie on purpose and they like it. They don’t really even know it’s lying, because they’re incapable of understanding truth. You would expect them to be all over global warming, given that it is promoted as morally good. Women love this moral signaling thing.

Men usually outnumber and outrank women negotiators in climate talks, except when it comes to global warming’s thorniest diplomatic issue this year — reparations for climate disasters.
The issue of polluting nations paying vulnerable countries is handed over to women, who got the issue on the agenda after 30 years. Whether this year’s United Nations climate talks in Egypt succeed or fail mostly will come down to the issue called loss and damage in international negotiations, officials and experts say. It’s an issue that intertwines equity and economics, balancing the needs of those hurt and those who would pay.
Nearly all of the key players are women and they and others say better gender representation could yield better results.
“I think what we need at this crucial time is empathy … We need to think about our world in the sense of taking care of our world,” said Chilean Environment Minister Maisa Rojas. “Maybe culturally, historically, they are seen as feminine values.”

Rojas, a climate scientist, and Germany special climate envoy Jennifer Morgan engineered a last-minute deal that got the issue of loss and damage on the agenda for the first time in 27 climate summits.
Now that it’s on the agenda, the top people trying to get something meaningful done are women. And that provides hope, a top United Nations official said.
“At times, at least in negotiations, women are able to find a pathway forward where maybe high testosterone does not yield itself well to that,” United Nations Environment Programme Director Inger Andersen said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Milagros De Camps, vice minister of international cooperation for the Dominican Republic, said women simply get better results.
“There are better results because women tend to be better in conflict resolution,” De Camps said. “They tend to be better in terms of reaching agreements, better in developing stricter policies that tend to be more sustainable.”

Overall, in the climate talks, men still dominate, both in their total numbers and in holding top positions. The summit’s president, the United Nations’ climate chief, the U.N. secretary-general and the top climate envoys for the United States, China and India are men, as are the overwhelming majority of heads of government who took the stage in the first week.
Christiana Figueres, who was a driving force behind the 2015 Paris agreement as the United Nation’s climate chief, said that, while every generality has exceptions, women tend to be more long-term thinkers, more inclusive, and more concerned with justice than men are.
“We have a deeper sense of human justice and this is very much a justice issue,” Figueres said in a Zoom interview Wednesday. “So I’m not surprised that it is women who are taking the lead on both the political negotiations as well as the thought leadership on loss and damages.”
Yeah, see – this is the way women think. It’s really disgusting, and when you look at it, it makes perfect sense that women were treated as property and banned from working in a public setting throughout history.
I’ve asked a trillion times, and no one has ever been able to name one benefit of allowing women out of the house.
All we got was the total destruction of the family and virus and weather hoaxes.

This was my message to the US government at #COP27
How can we not see the hypocrisy in calling ourselves climate leaders if we don’t commit to adequate climate finance?
