Abstract

In this paper, I will attempt to engender global warming chiefly by using the theory of materialist ecofeminism. I will show that greenhouse gases, the cause of global warming, derive not from a gender-free zone but from the production sphere, which has been attributed mainly to men, and affect the following three areas: nature, the production sphere, and the reproduction sphere, which has been burdened chiefly by women. Thus, I can say that the production sphere consists of masculinity while the reproduction sphere is based on femininity. Engendering global warming with a materialist ecofeminist perspective provides us with another perspective on masculinity, which has created such a problem and adversely affected nature and femininity. When we consider the problem of global warming, we need to use masculinity in a better and different way while we should re-cognize both nature and femininity, toward its genuine resolution.
