>educating and empowering women across the globe, including giving them control over family planning. What a strange point, backed by a TED talk. While I agree with it (empowering women), I don't see how it fits in the context of the article. I don't know if research support the (implicit) claim that women are better (for some definition of better, valid in the context of ecological disruption) than men at family planning.
