We can breathe a sigh of relief now that we know who’s winning the battle of the sexes in combating global warming.
The November 10 issue of New Scientist magazine reported a study by Gerd Johnsson-Latham of the Swedish Ministry of Sustainable Development that concludes “Swedish men are being blamed for having a disproportionately large impact on global warming.”
“The fact that women travel less than men, measured in person-kilometres per car, plane, boat and motorcycle – means that women cause considerably fewer carbon dioxide emissions than men, and thus considerably less climate change,” Johnsson-Latham said in the report.
In April 2006, Johnsson-Latham authored a report pondering a similar issue, “Do women leave a smaller ecological footprint than men?”
