"Men are doing good things without us!" "Ugh! Those bastards!"

The future of the environmental movement isn't pale and male.

Why not? What does it matter what the people involved in "saving the planet" look like?

Just the other day, the National Wildlife Federation announced its new president – a white male "whiz kid". Last month, the Climate Reality Project, founded by Al Gore, replaced its female chief executive with a white man. Last November, the National Parks and Conservation Association replaced its veteran leader with another white male. The Union of Concerned Scientists is due to announce its new leader as early as next week. Spoiler alert: it's not going to be a woman.

Thanks for being obsessed with demographics. And reducing people to nothing more than their race and gender.

damnbiker · 2015-02-04T12:39:59+00:00

Fucking hell, I'm the last one to be one of those "Oh, poor white male me" types. But seriously, they're complaining, because some of the people that are involved in these organizations are passionate enough about the issues to end up leading the charge, and are white men?

White guys should stick to tea party rallies, oil companies and private clubs, where they light Cuban cigars with underprivileged children of colour and say "Harumph! Harumph!" a lot!

Us white guys are people, not straw men. We have families that we love, we care about others and the planet. There are good ones and bad ones, just like EVERYONE ELSE.

Niketi · 2015-02-04T16:21:04+00:00

Lets see if it passes the find/replace test.

Just the other day, the National Wildlife Federation announced its new president – a Jewish "whiz kid". Last month, the Climate Reality Project, founded by Al Gore, replaced its female chief executive with a Jew. Last November, the National Parks and Conservation Association replaced its veteran leader with another Jew.

Now take a look at the top executives at eight of the top 10 groups devoted to fighting that fight:

Sierra Club? Jew.

Nature Conservancy? Jew.

League of Conservation Voters? Jew.

World Wildlife Fund? Jew.

Environmental Defense Fund? Jew.

Friends of the Earth? Jew.

National Audubon Society? Jew.

Nature Conservancy? Jew.

And feminism isn't bigotry?

TheBioboostedArmor · 2015-02-04T13:30:46+00:00

This is satire, right? Right?

ExpendableOne · 2015-02-04T14:47:37+00:00

White men are doing things and taking initiative!! PATRIARCHY!!1!!!

Coldbeam · 2015-02-04T14:09:04+00:00

By linking to these articles you are giving them page views, which is more incentive to write similar articles because they are popular. Something to think about.

Omnipraetor · 2015-02-04T15:24:24+00:00

If there are so many white men active in these projects then why don't women step the fuck up and take some god damn initiative? Sitting in front of your laptop complaining about how men are the source of all evil will not help anyone.

Sasha_ · 2015-02-04T16:46:51+00:00

Really? All the local African men risking there lives, and in some cases dying, to project to 450 remaining apes in Rwanda, they don't count do they?

The ethnic Hawaiians campaigning to save there seas; the recent statements by the Chinese government of the billions they're pouring into green energy and to project panda habitats, Putins meetings with Leonardo d'Caprio (well I suppose they are both white men, but it's not like they have a lot else in common...).

To critics those concerned for the environment because they're 'men' ignores the fact that men live, work and die closer to the environment than women. We fish the seas, clime the mountains and farm the fields.

And what a typical feminist approach! "How many of these organisations are LED by women?!" Really? How many female employees are out there planting trees? Get a few more women in at the bottom and maybe some will get to the top.

In short - how absolutely typical of a feminist to focus on the environment for what it can do for her, and not the reverse.

Wargame4life · 2015-02-04T15:57:40+00:00

Dunno about you guys, but if my family was burning to death in a house fire I would angrily berate white male firefighters who tried to help and instead insist on a black lesbian disabled woman to arrive and rescue them.

fucking white male shitlords

brokedown · 2015-02-04T12:00:21+00:00

Environmentalist shitlords!

Castigale · 2015-02-04T15:36:35+00:00

Public opinion research in the US suggests women, Latinos, African-Americans, Asians and Native Americans are more concerned – and more directly affected – by climate change than other populations. Doesn't it make sense to include those who are most at risk in decisions about how we fight the defining challenge of our time?

No. No it doesn't. The people who are most at risk, have, and always will be, the poorest and least able to move to a safer location. What we need are people (of any ethic background) who have ways, means, education, and resources to move forward on the issue. Where "your people" are from has no bearing on your ability to affect postive change.

Endless_Summer · 2015-02-04T14:12:13+00:00

So instead of actually accomplishing something productive, she decides to write a blog bitching about it? I think we found the problem.

painbod · 2015-02-04T17:38:45+00:00

I'm just going to outright say it and screw any SWJ who attempts to sway me otherwise:

These people are fucking racist. I mean borderline racist.

If we're going by the dictionary definition, then poo pooing on these guys because they're "White Males" is racist.

That's right, I'm using the word. Because this is what it all comes down to.

But no, according to them, you can't be racist against white people since "Racism = Power", just as sexism to them is all about "Power".

Or some racism is more heinous than others.

MightyLizardKing · 2015-02-04T13:47:34+00:00

HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unklestinky · 2015-02-04T15:53:47+00:00

i can sum this article up in three words! Fuck White Men!

fedoraislife · 2015-02-04T16:52:34+00:00

A few smart wordswaps and this article begins to sound a lot like propaganda persuading people that there are too many Jews around. We are coming very full circle, friends.

MordorsFinest · 2015-02-04T16:03:42+00:00

Wow now its racist to hire white men? How are women or minorities more affected by climate change? We share the same planet. The netherlands will sink, thats a lot of white people who might be concerned. And this racist bitch didnt include Pacific Islanders, they probably have the most reasons to be concerned

Lrellok · 2015-02-04T19:25:01+00:00

Why are so many white men trying to save the planet without the rest of us?

Because organizing a world wide distribution system for basic human needs while reducing fossil fuel consumption requires some skill at logistics and planning, something feminists not only fail miserably at but seem entirely antithetical towards.

Look at the amount of useless garbage that got added to Atheism+, none of which has anything to do with atheism or skepticism. If this is going to get done, it needs to be as streamlines as possible. No extraneous crap allowed.

iongantas · 2015-02-04T20:02:50+00:00

"Climate change affects minorities and women, the elderly and the poor. But the leadership of the environmental movement is pale and male. That doesn't look like progress"

How can you not read that and see that it is both sexist and racist?!?

EliCaaash · 2015-02-04T22:34:43+00:00

Guys.

The Guardian is a fake ideological left-wing publication that loses millions every year and is increasingly reliant on its internet service to justify its existence.

It runs stories like this to get your hate clicks and interaction btl, which they will quickly moderate for having the temerity to politely disagree with the author in logical terms.

The more people fall for this hate-click bullshit, the more likely they will be to do it again. DO NOT LINK DIRECTLY TO THE GUARDIAN. Don't give them the advertising revenue. Your interaction is exactly what they want, and will only serve to prolong its existence.

blueoak9 · 2015-02-04T15:50:40+00:00

As one commenter said, the world is run by the people who show up. Where are all the white women and why are they sitting on their asses about this? (Clue for Whatserface - they are already all through those organizations, doing great work, you ignoramus.)

aaxxsed · 2015-02-04T17:18:21+00:00

Encouraging certain demographics to stand up against environmental problem isn't enough. We should discourage others from standing up against environmental problem. I see no harm in that. ^{^/s}

Xeroith · 2015-02-04T17:45:28+00:00

Just more misguided female bigotry...

shazbottled · 2015-02-04T18:45:26+00:00

What an embarrassing article that was to skim

Blutarg · 2015-02-04T19:23:44+00:00

"Why are so many white men trying to save the planet without the rest of us?" Because the minute feminists get involved, they make it all about rape culture, and mansplaining, and manspreading, and other absurd distractions.

ThePigmanAgain · 2015-02-04T21:34:24+00:00

Ugh, these scum want to take over everything. I imagine they would like such male led movements to be replaced with something that is not only female led but has a name that immediately labels it as such -- like Code Pink -- thereby functioning as a PR exercise for the female sex.

Da_Wall · 2015-02-04T22:00:34+00:00

TheGuardian.cum is a shithole of SJWs. Do not link there directly. Every visit gives them money from ads.

eletheros · 2015-02-04T15:24:50+00:00

The feminists, already masters at suckling at the gov't teat, are just upset that some men have found an opportunity of suckling at the gov't teat that doesn't require them to be female.

Kernes · 2015-02-04T15:38:00+00:00

She desires their success so much without doing a thing. Unimaginable cunt.

repoman · 2015-02-04T16:06:30+00:00

Makes sense given that environmentalism is big business these days.

People fail to realize that just because it's promoting a socially responsible cause does not mean that people can't make a fortune in the process.

Maezren · 2015-02-04T16:45:08+00:00

I really enjoy that they always seem to leave out how many of their "perfect" candidates have actually applied for or are equally qualified for the positions in question.

Was the answer zero? I bet it was zero. It might have been one...but I'm still betting it was zero. In fact, I bet the other options were probably also white dudes. Which clearly means it's racist and misogynistic and buzzword.

Trail_of_Jeers · 2015-02-04T17:42:33+00:00

Because environmental repair requires more than a twitter account and internet connection?

But I am all for white men opting out completely, and black, yellow, and blue men. Just leaving. Not lifting a finger.

"Oh, you want me to clean up that sewage? Sorry, it's my day off."

Edit: Also, I am not white. I am Caucasoid Serbian, Legbeards.

Frobenioid · 2015-02-04T17:53:07+00:00

Global warming must also be a white man, stop oppressing these brave persons of colour and womyn, shitlord.

Whoever wrote this is a retard. I could point out many, many idiotic flaws in their poorly constructed ~~argument~~ whine, but I'll just show off this one:

(in regards to so many white men being/becoming CEOs):

"It doesn't look like change. It doesn't even look like America."

Fun fact, ya fucking doofus, 77.7% of Americans are Caucasian. And the majority of business leaders are men.

Put that shit together, and look what we've got! 8 out of 10 of the CEOs are white males!

I guess, actually, this is what America looks like.

sclift · 2015-02-04T22:29:13+00:00

Frittern · 2015-02-04T15:47:21+00:00

Intersectional feminism has these women confused about human history and the females role in enforcing cultural norms..Norms that grievously hurt minorities and native people..

These women think there less prone to racial bias because their female? Hardly, Women are demonstrable more influenced by in group bias than men whether class,race or gender..

Look at frontier's throughout human history..Outliers 90% + male go out to the wilderness,frontier or border of a culture and start getting freaky..They mixed it up pair bond outside their race and class form working groups outside the framework of their origin culture.Left alone these outliers would over generations integrate cultures and technologies. To often instead colonizers come in and try to civilize the new space and make it safe for women. Male might be the enforcers,dealers of violence but it's women's desire for safety above all else that drives a need for enforced social order.It's the desire of women that drives the homogeneity machine.

BritishBlue · 2015-02-04T22:33:01+00:00

Basically attacking white males for being too good at being good, hahaha. And here's me thinking we were nothing but environment destroying oppressors. I love the guardian pick comment too, always on message.

Goldenberg...

redwormcharlie · 2015-02-04T16:36:39+00:00

Now let's put words on that make the perspective less skewed:

Sierra Club? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

Nature Conservancy? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

League of Conservation Voters? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

World Wildlife Fund? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

Environmental Defense Fund? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

Friends of the Earth? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

National Audubon Society? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

Nature Conservancy? White male who applied and is qualified for the job.

--------------------------------------------------

Doing shit like this has become a new narrative of liberal entertainment media. Much like how they keep crucifying "anti-vaxxers" because people in the GOP say that it is a parent right and government intervention is unconstitutional. Yet they will leave out the part in which the right wingers say and agree that being anti-vax is stupid. Same thing with "climate deniers" and how they point to GOP member who say that they are scientist, there is no enough data, yet agree that something is changing but don't know what, so they jump on them when they don't go along with radical legislation like banning gasoline burning cars. What they do is take shit from context, skew it by limiting information or quotes or facts and viola! You have OUTRAGE! It really seems like the majority of liberal nut jobs are armies of women who feel they are due concessions because they have been so oppressed.

I'm libertarian by the way, so don't bother me with saying I support the GOP, I'm just saying, I can read past the rhetoric and see the truth. I think shit the GOP and Dumbocrats does is dumb as hell too.

More like "why do you care about the environment so much when there are feminist issues you could care about instead?"

iNQpsMMlzAR9 · 2015-02-04T21:23:45+00:00

Amusing how often The Guardian will complain about racial demographics all over the world, but when you look at the demographics of their own readership:

http://www.theguardian.com/advertising/demographic-profile-of-guardian-readers

...race is nowhere to be found. Funny, that. I would love to see an article complaining to their readers about how "pale" and "non-progressive" said readers are.

UnityNow · 2015-02-04T21:25:38+00:00

Wow. Instead of recognizing the obvious meaning of this data, that there are men doing good things in the world, that a majority of the leaders in environmentalism and just generally trying to make the world a better place are men, they start from the feminist presumption that all men are evil, and argue that the evil men need to be made to stop doing good in the world so women can take their place. Pure insanity.

WolfeBane84 · 2015-02-04T21:43:40+00:00

I have to say, that woman looks like a man...

Stephen1985 · 2015-02-04T21:58:11+00:00

It's starting to shock me just how acceptable it's becoming to make totally derogatory comments about my race and gender.

daelethrowaway · 2015-02-04T22:55:30+00:00

I get that this woman is angry but she could save herself the sexist "white man" rhetoric.

rrearleii · 2015-02-04T23:44:30+00:00

No one is preventing non-white non-men from trying to save the world. Fortunately, it seems that the people in the comments section on there seem to think the article is just as dumb as we do.

nebno6 · 2015-02-05T00:02:27+00:00

How is this news, how is this anything, in other news 99% of Africans are black and we must change this, the guardian would have so much more respect not publishing this tripe.

derkajihad · 2015-02-05T01:33:28+00:00

TLDR: Upper middle class/rich white women complaining that the top spots they're gunning for is taken by white men.

Cool. Get an Environmental Science degree.

krawm · 2015-02-05T08:51:05+00:00

What i take from this post is that white men cannot save the environment and the only way the environmental movement will ever succeeded is with (mostly)women and minorities(women only i assume) leading the way....the author goes so far to point out that the ONLY successful environmentalistis, in recent memory /s, is a woman who stopped keystone xxl.

PadaV4 · 2015-02-04T19:03:07+00:00

Who the fuck cares who is doing the good deeds. It could be the Gay Transsexual Nigger association, and it still wouldn't matter! All that matters is that the good things are done!
