Mikä ilmastonmuutoksessa on pahinta?

YK:n ilmastonmuutoskonferenssi:

Scientists and environmentalists at the conference continued to warn participants of the dangers of climate change, which many believe poses a serious threat to life on Earth.

Ai elämä maapallolla on uhattuna? Kuulostaa pahalta, mutta ei tuo vielä mitään...

Severe weather caused by global warming can pose greater physical danger to women than men.

Ilmastonmuutos on siis naisille vaarallisempaa kuin miehille. Mielenkiintoista. Mistäköhän se voisi johtua?

Angie Daze, a program manager with a Canadian group called Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change:

"For instance, often women don't know how to swim, so in a flood situation that can lead to a higher instance of death or injury."
