I’m always impressed with the supposed effects of human-caused global warming–it is claimed to cause cooling, more rain, less rain, more snow, less snow, larger glaciers, and smaller glaciers. I thought I had heard it all, but the recently released Stern Report (the UK’s attempt to try to scare the US economically and therefore get the US to join the Kyoto Protocol) has the most absurd effect of climate change. I quote, “Gender inequalities will likely worsen with climate change.” Huh? I wish I were kidding.

The quote is in chapter 4, page 23 of the report.
