The amount of junk science in these reports is astounding...
Quote:When we think of climate and environmental issues such as climate-linked disasters or biodiversity loss, we don’t tend to think about gender. At first glance, it may seem irrelevant.
But a growing body of evidence demonstrates women and gender-diverse people are disproportionately vulnerable to the changing climate and the consequences it brings.
Women are 14 times more likely to die in a climate change-related disaster than men. Women represent 80% of people displaced by extreme weather.
So, what's their evidence for this claim?
This report is what they use to support their claim: https://www.undp.org/blog/women-are-hit-hardest-disasters-so-why-are-responses-too-often-gender-blind
Quote:The statistics are staggering; when disaster strikes, women and children are 14 times more likely than men to die. Let me use a real example: of the 230,000 people killed in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 70 percent were women.
Ummm, tsunamis caused by undersea earthquakes are climate-related disasters now?
What the fuck are these people taking about?
if these statistics are correct, I wonder why
kids obviously are smaller, dumber and more fragile, of course they die in emergency situations
are women that much more fragile and dumber about getting to safety?
is it because in the Indian Ocean region, men tend to have vehicles while women are homebodies serving their men, so the men are able to get the fuck out and drive off but women are indoors and don't realize a tsunami is coming?
