Representative Barbara Lee (D-Calif) warns that global warming will lead to
an increase in sex-for-pay. As Lees sees it, higher temperatures will force
women to wear skimpier clothing in an effort to endure the heat. More scantily
clad women will induce more men to approach them with indecent propositions. The
persistence of horny men and the lure of easy cash will be irresistible.
Lee admitted that she wasn’t sure what could be done to avert this calamity,
but thought that “we ought to be looking at possible options. Do we enforce a
stricter dress code like some religions do? Do we make it illegal for men to
approach women who are strangers to them? Do we invest in giant cooling fans for
areas with heavy pedestrian traffic? I don’t know. What I do know is that we
can’t sit by and do nothing.”
Former President Bill Clinton urged that “we not go off half-cocked. The
implications of warmer temperatures aren’t all bad. There are real material
savings to be had if we could all dress more lightly. I don’t know if there is
anything we can really do to significantly affect global climate. Maybe we
should just try to acclimate ourselves to a warmer Earth. Perhaps we could
decriminalize prostitution. Is there any good reason why paying for sexual
services should be illegal anyway? It’s a voluntary transaction, a so-called
crime, but one without a real victim.”
