In one, the participants228 Americans recruited via Amazons Mechanical Turkdescribed both varieties of activists in overwhelmingly negative terms. [...]

Another study, featuring 17 male and 45 female undergraduates, confirmed the pervasiveness of those stereotypes.

Well, that makes sense. North American women have little to complain about. Now, if you're a woman and you live in one of those fancy countries where you're not allowed to use a t-shirt or drive a car and get executed for adultery if somebody rapes you, well, that's a different story.

Environmentalism

It depends, most people here in Europe are concerned about global warming, environment, and everyone makes small steps to help it (by reducing greenhouse gas emission, sort wastes, and so on.

Greenhouse gases are a myth. Think about it: A CO₂ molecule has an atomic weight of 44 (CFCs are much heavier), while an N₂ (the main component of "air") has an atomic weight of 28. How are those much heavier molecules supposed to get all the way up to the stratosphere?

I don't believe global warming has anything to do with mankind. There have been several ice ages (technically, we're still in one), and there will be more long after the last human died. It's getting warmer right now and the world is full of humans, but correlation does not imply causation.
