Thank you, Madam Chair.
At first glance, I would have smiled too. But I realized that....
On the weekend, I read an article that said climate change affects women more than any other group. In the Arctic, for example, the polar ice cap is melting and animals are having a hard time surviving—the polar bear is now an endangered species, as are a number of other animals.
I realized it was having a real impact on women. If nothing is done to address the situation, it can also have long-term effects. And if there are long-term effects, women are the ones who will suffer, because very often, they are the ones who look after the families, who are responsible for growing vegetables in the gardens.
