Two children should be limit, says green guru
The Times Online ^ | 1 Feb 2009 | Sarah-Kate Templeton

Posted on 02/01/2009 3:52:17 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an unbearable burden on the environment, the government’s green adviser has warned.

Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming. He says political leaders and green campaigners should stop dodging the issue of environmental harm caused by an expanding population.

A report by the commission, to be published next month, will say that governments must reduce population growth through better family planning.

Oh, how could you ask poor minorities to subscribe to this?

These policies are for caucasian citizens only!

I have eleven children - two married, nine still at home, all homeschooled. Between the two married children, there are eight grandchildren, so far.

This twerp would be very unhappy with us.

Maybe he forgot the old adage, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”

I knew it was too much. But, after all, being in that group (causcasian citizens), it’s only natural - we’re basically selfish and self-centered, aren’t we. Imagine the gaul -— wanting to propagate our particular part of this world’s gene pool!

Too late, there are madrassa clown cars using IVF... I guess a lot of jihadis have been busy or dead.

As I tell everyone (and they laugh, give me tin hats), ‘green’ is one of the branches of eugenics.

If people didn’t see non-terminal Schiavo starved for 13 days when serial killers are fought over for lethal injection (the latter, libs will fight to death for btw), as a sign, what can I tell you.

We started putting the monster into practice, Hitler got it from us. From the Buck case, Margaret Sanger, etc.

Prepare for the Groningen Protocol for America.
Also prepare for a brisk organ market.

Does this mean that couples that have no children, or only one child will be able to sell child credits to another couple who want to have more than two?

I posted a comment [or tried to, it looks like new comments are not being added]: "I've got more than two children, a lot more. Should I kill the youngest ones, the oldest ones, or take them all to a eugenics doctor to get a medical opinion on which of my excess CO2 generators should be terminated?"

I wonder what the author would recommend for your excess children and for mine. I wonder who would support civilization if responsible people like us didn't raise responsible children with a work ethic and traditional values. Three cheers for you and your family; you have already done more good for our country and our future than this writer will ever accomplish.

Finally the envirofacists show their true colors. Killing human babies is the answer to global warming.
And now we have a baby killing socialist as President of the US.

They are at 18 children now. See http://www.duggarfamily.com/

PRAISE GOD!

They are strongly evangelistic, have NO DEBT, and are raising a Godly nation.

May their fervor ignite all Christian hearts to do the same.

It seems to me that the ecotards resemble the politicians who want to tax your money away so that they can spend it, but they avoid taxes themselves, and sometimes get caught.

I perceive a thinly veiled hatred for humanity throughout the ecotard message, consistent with the other forms of liberalism. I don't know the validity of that particular picture as to whether the words are photo-shopped, but the text is a more blatant representation of the core of the leftist message.

Here's another:

Global warming is the perfect issue for these people. It is at once: ill-defined, unprovable, frightening, beyond the realm of current science (religious), expensive, and global in scale. Morphine global warming to “climate change” only exacerbates these characteristics. As a result, it gives these guys a blank check justification to grab authority and push any agenda, no matter how nutty, in the name of saving the planet. As a result, some people and organizatons will get awfully rich and sainted at the same time. And the rest of us will become grateful slaves.

Communists have nothing on these people.

This is rubbish. Population growth is way more complex than this - for a start its not simply a question of how many children you have, but when you have them. A woman who has two children at age 20 contributes FAR more to the growth of population than a woman who has three at age 30.

>>COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an unbearable burden on the environment

One family that didn’t believe that:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_family
>>Together Rose and Joe Sr. had nine children:
Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Jr., John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
Rosemary Kennedy, Kathleen Agnes Kennedy, Eunice Mary Kennedy,
Patricia Kennedy, Robert Francis Kennedy, Jean Ann Kennedy,
Edward Moore Kennedy

Had Joe and Rose felt that two were enough, the likes of
Ted wouldn’t have even been born and environmentalist
Robert Kennedy Jr. wouldn’t have been born because his
dad wouldn’t have been born; and these days EMK shows
his dedication to the environment by saying that yes,
maybe wind power is a great option—unless it blocks
your view of Nantucket Sound!

Actually a growing number of childless couples or couples without more than two children are creating the burden. Since a certain number of children are required to replace the population, if the children are being raised in a large family, there is actually less spent per child because more live a single home. Economy of scale. The requirement should be that all childless couples or single people who are so because they are "green" should be required to share expenses in a group home consisting of no less than 6 people so that valuable resources don't get used up making so many houses for childless couples.

If so, what would be the bag limit?
