BBC News - EU climate change 'worse for women' claim row
A new report from a European Parliament committee has prompted scathing criticism from Conservatives with its suggestion that women will be more at risk from climate change than men.
"Global warming is not some male plot to do women down. The climate is the same for males and females, so far as I know. When it rains we all get wet."
This is how a British Conservative MEP, Marina Yannakoudakis, has responded to a report published by the women's rights committee, of which she is a member, at the European Parliament.
Her fellow committee members have gone "bonkers", she suggests.
For science deniers, clean energy is just another special interest, hardly different from, say, natural gas or, for them, even oil and coal.
