Letters: Lucy Ellmann on 5,000 years of male-led environmental destruction

Arwa Mahdawi claims that men are not responsible for climate change . This lets men off the hook a little too lightly. Not only are they the instigators of the ruinous Industrial Revolution, which led to the vast contamination of air, water and land, but men have also spent the last 5,000 years fighting, killing, colonising, enslaving, marauding, and yelling about football.

We should blame 'central banks' (90% females) and governments for the climate crisis. It was them who forced us into this 'economic 'growth' via 3-4 billion bullshitjobs; until everything was on fire or under water' anti-economy. We got forced to destroy Earth; doing nonsense.

Some would say it's another well-prepared feminist diatribe of blaming the patriarchy & men for everything and not accepting responsibility for anything. Good old Guardian looking for attention, conflict and division

Nuclear power is much cleaner than fossil fuels. That's not to say that it's completely clean, but it is a lot better than what we are poisoning the world with

Pollution starts with you and I ...blame your encestors why they didn't train you well

Ourselves. Rewild yourself NOW !

There is no climate change or climate Crisis. And there's no need to worry about Global warming

And blame men for the wealthiest global population in history.

This has to be the most stupid article I've ever read. 80% of household purchasing decisions made by women. Consumerism is the single biggest cause of climate change. So, climate change might be all our fault and needs to be fixed by everyone. Not by what is between your legs.

Imagine if the gender was reversed. The guardian is just a troll paper at this point.

Haven’t the G and the left been telling us for years that we have ignored women’s contributions in history…time to a share of the blame ladies .

We should blame women and children - the people men were doing it for . This is a new low .

I always suspected scientists got it all wrong - the notion that the mother’s genetics determines how clever her children are. 😉

If it wasn’t for men, women would still be living in mud huts.

Of course

🤦‍♂️

Clever little box you've got me in, woman. You get to cast men as the devil, but defending myself only exposes my toxicity. Well played. Doesn't stop you from being full of shit though.

Yep

White men after money and dominance. Totally true.

That’s helpful!

Probably, they ruined a perfectly good after-death with Abrahamism.

Who else can we blame?

Such potent clickbait. A 100 word letter from an obvious lunatic. 5000 years of civilisation. You sure you want to go through that with a fine tooth pick?

Do you, or do you not, like your washing machine, Lucy? FictionAtelier

The fossilenergy industry has the largest share of the pollutant emissions,tolerated by governments,some of which also subsidize operators,they continue to wreak havoc on nature ▶️Liability principles do not exist,managers go into retirement without harm ▶️that should be changed

This is why I don't read the Guardian anymore 🤦🏼‍♂️

Omg, jesus, spare me this shit.

right on. let's also blame men for the printing press, electricity, computers, television, radio, tarmac, microwaves, mascara, bicycles, cinema, flight, seabins, lego, solar power, hang-gliders, headphones, the internet, telephone, railways...

It is true, but I dont give a shit.

A rare example of satire in the grauniad.

White, cis men surely?

Is this a joke?

Today’s entry in “Unhelpful thoughts you should have kept to yourself.”

Lol
