Climate Change and the World Food Crisis: A Solution

http://www.actionaid.org/hungerFREE

The UN Climate Conference in Durban needs to support women farmers in order to tackle the growing global food crisis. Agriculture is being increasingly threatened by climate change.

Small scale farmers produce half the world's food and most of them are women. With access to training, technology, financial services and markets - the number of people going hungry could be cut by 15%. With 7 billion people on the planet this year, this solution is more important than ever.

“Your mouthful of cool air-conditioned air is water stolen from our mountain stream, change your lifestyle and we will take care of the rest,”

I'm all in favour of women and in favour of farmers - but "women farmer's" specifically?  Where did this cme from?

Extra carbon dioxide results in extra plant growth

Extra carbon dioxide results in extra life on earth. Result in lower sea levels and no more temperate climate.
