California Democrat Predicts Surge In Hookers, Blames "Global Warming"

Quote:Ripped from the pages of The Onion, this is not. California Democrat Barbara Lee proposed a resolution in the House of Representatives that claims women will eventually be forced into prostitution since they face "disproportionately harmful impacts from climate change." So, first 'we' blame weakness in economic growth on excess cold, and now excess global warmth - according to Lee's House Concurrent Resolution 29 - will drive women to "sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage."





Here's some key excerpts from the happy clappy lady's Resolution...

"Women will disproportionately face harmful impacts from climate change," - we are not really sure why?

Climate change will turn women into hookers?

"food insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health"

Women are "uniquely" capable of adapting to climate change?

"despite a unique capacity and knowledge to promote and provide for adaptation to climate change, women often have insufficient resources to undertake such adaptation"

Women know best when it comes to climate change and how to fix it?

"women are often underrepresented in the development and formulation of policy regarding adaptation to climate change, even though they are often in the best position to provide and consult on adaptive strategies."

* * *
We have nothing to add... except this...

Regardless of your opinion on the climate, this is the most ridiculous resolution ever.

And since when did "early marriage" lead to higher risks of HIV and STI's?

Early marriage is a bad thing? Only in California.

My takeaway from this is that I need to start a "non-profit" group to do a government-funded study on the effects of climate change on sex workers all over the world.

I'm going to need a lot of money to do it. We'll have to research warm climates in S. America and S.E. Asia and colder climates in Eastern Europe. We'll even need to pay a visit to American cities like NYC, Vegas and Miami. We'll fly sex workers from one climate to another and see how the climate affects them. It could take years, no, decades to do a thorough investigation.

I'll volunteer to undertake the position of head researcher (tee-hee) as well as CEO, but I'm willing to staff as many people as we need. Remember, it's a non-profit and it's for the womyn and the environment.

This could be the most important undertaking of our lives.

Nice. This study is already being done - flying such workers from to warm climates etc. Here's the link:

I don't think I could facepalm hard enough.

Besides the glaringly obvious inconsistency in her liberal rhetoric:

If a woman chooses to be a sex worker, I thought we were supposed to be supportive of that? Freedom of choice when it comes to her body and all that? If women willingly get into prostitution, isn't that their right and choice to do so? I thought we were past that point in society where we still white knight for women being "forced" into making stupid decisions (an activity they seem to have a natural predisposition towards)

California I weep for thee. My heart will always remain in that state. I will only know the glories of your golden years through second hand accounts like what my dad and uncles tell me. Stories of bonfire parties on your beaches, without any permits or citations, stories of free love and beautiful young women, stories of cheap rent, un-crowded surf, un-crowded anything, stories of seeing The Doors at The Whiskey...

And now, pure unbridled madness.

Says those who confuse or deliberately obfuscate correlation with causation.

Global Warming will drive women women to "sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage."

So there is no warming, but I guess the global warming taxes which make energy deadly for the birds (wind) and expensive, which contributes to lower disposable income makes indeed the economic situation for men and women tougher.

And yes in those countries couples do pair up faster and earlier. There is in fact more sex work, transactional sex and early marriage going on.

This is so terrible because we know that women should be freeeee like a bird, work in the corporate world and offer their pussy FREE OF CHARGE to the Skittles man and to every bad boy they want until they are 35. Then at 35 her Beta Bux husband should get their aging ass at overinflated prices paying through his nose to get what others got for free. That is a female privilege which we indeed must preserve.





In the US there are already 14000 abandoned wind turbines and they are still building more, since they are financed by the government through taxing everyone. But at least that's positive, since it stops killing birds there. I prefer them abandoned than operational.

Did you know that wind power systems and solar power systems both use more energy to manufacture than they produce over their lifetimes?

The first time I read this claim, I immediately looked it up, because it sounds like outlandish, one sided propaganda.

I found a link from an environmentalist bragging about how close we are to the break even point, where lifetime energy production will finally equal the energy cost in manufacturing! If environmentalists brag about not quite being at the break even point, how much worse is the reality?

The details are that wind generation systems have to be locked down when gusts can go over their maximum speed, but of course the times between excessive gusts are when most of the prime wind time occurs. Windmills can only operate in suboptimal conditions. As a bonus, they are too expensive to dismantle after they are decommissioned, hence the picture.
Likewise, most solar cells are in less than optimum climate zones and orientations with respect to the sun. Even under ideal conditions, solar systems need 15-25 years to break even, But Only With Tax Subsidies!!! Without tax subsidies, they are a dead loss.

Bonus fact to look up: pool drownings kill far more children each year than the child deaths due to guns that the anti-gun nuts rant and rage about. However, fervor over pools is non-existent.

The original source is The Onion?
What is the discussion here? The Onion make satirical news stories all the time so the article is not true and no one seems to be commenting on whether it is funny or not.

In the first sentence it says that it is NOT FROM THE ONION.

In fact it's an concurrent resolution:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-cong...on/29/text

Quote:H.Con.Res.29 - Recognizing the disparate impact of climate change on women and the efforts of women globally to address climate change.

But it is telling that guys cannot tell government bills from Onion articles. They are so fucking crazy that indeed 2+2=5 and everyone repeats: "Tell us the number and 2+2 is anything you say it is!"

Yes women suffer the most in war and yes women suffer the most from the completely fabricated Global Warming that they wish now to have called Global Cooling or Climate Change or Climate Disruption. And yes - it is so crazy that they want CO2 go down to 150 ppm which would make all plants die off and probably kill most humans in the process. Yes it is so crazy that they want the planet to cool despite barely having left the medieval ice age and the planet having had higher temperatures around the year 0 and year 1000 when Greenland was actually green like Scotland. Let's also discard the fact that in most Earth history in the last millions of years Earth was hotter than now and polar caps were ice free and the funny thing is that we did not drown - and more lands were arable and more pleasant in climate - there was no global dust bowl, but rather just the opposite a land of plenty with less hurricanes much more fruitful land.

Oh - and don't mind the naysayers like Greenpeace co-founders who say that we need double the amount of CO2 and that the planet will prosper from it in fact. Those scientists believe that CO2 should raise to 700-800ppm from 380ppm to have optimal rates on our planet. In fact each and everyone should increase his carbon footprint as much as possible - yes all 7 billion of us.

BTW - real pollution can be solved much better and faster than ever before, but the elite is not interested in that. And even despite that we have cleaner air in most cities than in the 1980s.

Post: #12

The whole "carbon footprint" focus seems like a backdoor to population control. Everything people do creates carbon dioxide. I've also never understood how we can have a First World country without producing massive amounts of CO2. Unless there is a lot less of us.
