I'll yield to her expertise on the subject.

As a politician, she's already there.

She sure did connect the dots from A to Q.

Does this woman have any brainwaves? She should get together with the Congressman who thought an island would tip over if too many people lived on one side! This woman is completely disrespectful to women, saying that sex is the only way they can get food! How insulting.

Prostitution is one of the best examples of a free market that I know of; I wonder, does the price fluctuate with temperature? We need a government study.

Global Warming/Climate Change may become a lost cause but don't despair, there's always another great, government growing, money-sucking scheme: Stop Continental Drift NOW!!

Gosh, didn't Babs take into account that global warming will create enormous farmlands in Canada and Siberia and food production will increase? We should check to see if Al Gore is buying up all that great real estate while it's still cheap! ;-)

This brings out my inner adolescent and reminds me of what we used to say in junior high. "Takes one to know one..."

Sound like the old anti-sex culture instilled by the Abrahamic religions.

George Carlin restated: Why is it illegal to do an act for money when it is perfectly legal to do the same act for free?

We pay for that woman to have a pension for life

That sure is an odd way to promote saving and good investing among young men.

Have fun!

And the full moon turns certain people into werewolves. Or in the case of congress, werepussycats.

Barbara Lee should know something about the oldest profession being that she practices the trade every day just by being a Democrat elected official.

A far more likely cause of the suggested results would be government regulatory commissions over business, health care, energy and death taxes to name a few.

I mean taxing people at around 50% of GDP (between federal and state) is far more likely to create a poverty ridden section of the public more likely to participate in the sex trade.

Perhaps they will one day recognize true causes of poverty and quit attempting to place it on global warming.

In the first place she has no proof of global warming, other than published papers, the authors of which admitted, even boasted, of manipulation and falsification of data. "I've just completed [Michael Mann]'s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to the data series...from 1981 onwards, and from 1961 for [Keith Briffa]'s to hide the decline." So said Phil Jones, Director, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, UK. And: "We cannot show a warming trend and it is a travesty that we can't." So said Jones' colleague, Kevin Trenberth.

Second, Lee admits the utter failure of big government if she seriously is suggesting women prostitute themselves for food, water and shelter. Would you not expect her to talk about how emergency support systems would break under the strain?

Another nutjob politician. What a hoot everytime she and her fellow nuts open their mouths to display their ignorance.

I could swear I saw this same story a year or 2 ago...

seems a contradiction. with global warming there will be more food stuffs grown so food will be less expensive. however, since there are no jobs readily available in out declining economy that may very well suggest to some women that they should sell their body to feed their kids.

I'm not sure how "early marriage" increases a woman's "risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health".
