Feeling the heat: Women and climate change
Feeling the heat: Women and climate change
In a special edition, we examine how climate change is affecting the lives of women as rising temperatures and increasingly extreme weather events continue to impact communities worldwide. This as the world is also facing a warming El Nino climate pattern in the coming months. We report from India where a series of recent intense heatwaves has pushed temperatures to dangerous levels and posed a particularly serious risk to pregnant women. Annette Young also talks to UK author, Natasha Walter, whose latest book is entitled 'Feminism for a World on Fire,’ who says a feminist approach is badly needed to address the climate crisis. Plus, how for millions of women, heatwaves are not just about the rising temperatures. It also puts them at risk of harassment in public as they wear lighter clothes such as shorts or sleeveless dresses and tops, according to French data.

Corroboration
No verdict, no pronouncement. The model extracts atomic factual claims with verbatim quotes; every quote is validated against the source text and corroboration is computed by counting how many editorially-opposed blocs assert each fact.
The spine · 0 facts corroborated across ≥2 opposed blocs
No fact in this cluster crossed two opposed editorial blocs. The facts below are reported, but not (yet) independently corroborated across the divide.
