Twenty-five trailblazing women leading the fight against climate change

March 7 - With so many extraordinary women engaged in the battle against climate change, the biggest task in compiling Reuters Impact's list of trailblazing women for International Women's Day was whittling down our long list to only 25. We reluctantly decided not to include the likes of Christiana Figueres, Greta Thunberg, and U.N. Environment Programme chief Inger Andersen, who already have a high global profile for their work, in order to shine the light on women whose contributions may have flown under the radar.
 
We’ve included activists and academics, corporates and entrepreneurs, women of different ages working in finance and policymaking from around the world. And of course, the women we’ve named here are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many, many thousands of women working at the coalface of climate action whose achievements deserve to be recognised and celebrated.
TRAILBLAZING POLICYMAKERS
 
Brazil’s new environment minister is the daughter of poverty-stricken Amazonian rubber tappers. As a teenager, Silva lost her two sisters and mother to disease introduced after bulldozers arrived to construct a highway near their hamlet. She founded the independent trade union movement with Chico Mendes, and in the 1980s the pair began the empates movement, peaceful demonstrations by rubber-tapping communities refusing to be expelled from their forest homes.

Senator Kennedy's (R-La.) grilling of one of the left's so called "climate experts" this week, is a perfect example of their idiotic advocacy scam.

Try to keep from laughing.

I would rather be termed a "trailblazing woman" for accomplishing something of actual value to humanity, not for perpetuating a hoax.

For some reason, they thought various Olympic athletes, e.g., a cross-country skier, knew more about "climate" than anyone else. Sen. Kennedy sets them straight.

@SenJohnKennedy
Democrats want to spend $50 TRILLION to become carbon neutral & held a hearing to tell us why.

Dem witness: Carbon dioxide is "a huge part of our atmosphere."

Me: "It’s actually a very small part of our atmosphere." (0.035%)

Dem witness: "Well, okay. But, yeah. I don’t know."

Being in the environmental profession, I have been following this since the 1970's.  There was a point in the late 1970's that a chunk of scientist who thought the climate was cooling so fast that an ice age was imminent. 

50 years later, I have come to the conclusion of a few things in this area:

1. Mother Nature is infinitely more resilent than people give her credit for.  Should we intentionally pollute?  Of course, no.  I have always supported good cost effective controls and practices that help preserve the environment.  I am proud of my career, where many things I have enacted and sponsored at my facilities reduced emissions, waste, and treated water to the point fish were living in our effluent streams.

2. CLIMATE CHANGE ADVOCACY is a SCAM!!!!!- Look at the sponsors, and who are funding this operation.  Socialist factions who are hell bent on 3rd world wealth redistribution.  And destruction of heavy industries that historically have been or supported conservative values.

3. Notice that every aspect of the climate change scam reduces your freedoms and increases your reliance on a centralized government?  Put that in the equation every time you hear news on this front.

4. Notice that in the 1990's that stealthly "Global Warming" became "Climate Change"?  It became untenable that the data was more inconclusive than solid, taking account sample size, and the fact almost world wide that the reporting stations built mostly in the 1940's and 1950's were seeing heat sinks due to heat island effect of urban/suburban encroachment to those reporting stations that built back then, were in more rural settings.

5. One of my very favorite simple quips when encountering an enviro-whacko?  Ask them how a thriving Viking settlement built a 1000 years ago survived and had a partially agrarian base?.  And now that same area can only surive via modern means.  Truth is, it was warmer in that time slot than now.

Aw sheesh.... I was so hoping this title meant that some smart women were stepping up to the plate and fighting against the nonsense of a "climate change crisis." 

[LMAO]

There are two types of climate activists

The first are the Jaque Kerry and Al Gore types. They push the agenda but that’s because it’s been financially lucrative for them. They may or may not believe

The second, and most dangerous are the Thunberg types. They are the true believers. They believe that they truly only have a few years left due to fossil fuels. They are willing to use violence to stop what they see as a threat to their lives

reuters = high probability of propaganda being promulgated...
