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 Premise: Climate Meets Gender Ideology
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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
