Feminism Can’t Fix Climate Change (But Nothing Else Can Either)
1 day ago Charles Rotter
What happens when ideology hijacks science? You get articles like Scientific American’s recent gem, “How Feminism Can Guide Climate Change Action.” Spoiler: it’s yet another attempt to inject a political narrative into a domain that’s already drowning in bad policy, shaky science, and unworkable solutions. Feminism is the latest player in the climate theater, but the real show here isn’t how feminism can save the planet—it’s how the planet doesn’t need saving at all.

The article argues that feminism has the tools to guide climate change action because—wait for it—the current economic system
… rooted in the extraction of natural resources and exploitation of cheap or unpaid labor, often done by women and marginalized communities.
This curious fusion of gender politics and environmentalism is not only absurd; it’s irrelevant. Whether or not economic systems “exploit labor” has nothing to do with global temperature changes. But don’t expect Scientific American to let facts get in the way of a good narrative.
