World Ends ! Women and minorities hit hardest !

So goes the old joke about a New York Times headline. The target is the tendency of the American left to want to see everything through the lens of race and gender.

Over the years, the left has repeatedly demonstrated that it is beyond satire. So it goes. Three members of Congress introduced a resolution expressing concern that climate change may cause "food insecurity" and "food insecure" women may be forced into "sex work" (we used to call it prostitution) and early marriage.

Were that to happen (I'm not persuaded it's likely), that would indeed be an awful consequence. But one would think that starvation or, if you prefer, "food insecurity" would be a problem for everyone.
