Massive Carbon Release Shrinks Horses to Size of House Cats

Liao: Well one of the things that we noticed is that human ecological footprints are partly correlated with size. Each kilogram of body mass requires a certain amount of food and nutrients and so, other things being equal, the larger person is the more food and energy they are going to soak up over the course of a lifetime. There are also other, less obvious ways in which larger people consume more energy than smaller people---for example a car uses more fuel per mile to carry a heavier person, more fabric is needed to clothe larger people, and heavier people wear out shoes, carpets and furniture at a quicker rate than lighter people, and so on.
And so size reduction could be one way to reduce a person's ecological footprint. For instance if you reduce the average U.S. height by just 15cm, you could reduce body mass by 21% for men and 25% for women, with a corresponding reduction in metabolic rates by some 15% to 18%, because less tissue means lower energy and nutrient needs.

Liao: That's right. It's been suggested that, given the seriousness of climate change, we ought to adopt something like China's one child policy. There was a group of doctors in Britain who recently advocated a two-child maximum. But at the end of the day those are crude prescriptions---what we really care about is some kind of fixed allocation of greenhouse gas emissions per family. If that's the case, given certain fixed allocations of greenhouse gas emissions, human engineering could give families the choice between two medium sized children, or three small sized children. From our perspective that would be more liberty enhancing than a policy that says "you can only have one or two children."....

The guy claims that they aren’t doing bioengineering, oh, but they are. Our skies are filled with toxins on almost a daily basis now, and guess who the main victims are? The U.S. and Europe (plus a few other NATO countries).
No one knows why, everyone denies, but it’s right in front of our faces.
Bee kills, bird kills, fish kills, memory loss and Morgellon’s, just some of the evil the psychotic and Satanist nut jobs are inflicting upon us.
Who knows the end game. The way it’s looking, to rid the earth of more of the intelligent producers, while leaving the 3rd world “serfs” who aren’t as prone to fight back.
This guy has short man’s disease. He’s clearly jealous of people taller than him which seems to be most of NY.

I think the correct technical term you’re looking for is “carbon fartprint.”
ever thus speaks the serpent. nothing new since Genesis.
I’m in favor of liberals shrinking themselves!
I remember that cartoon joke of this guy raising bonzai trees making him look like a sick minimalist maniac and then screaming about his children not to climb the trees. Back then it was a joke about bonzai people, but now apparently it is an Obama reality.
And we keep these insane people in power as if they were ok.
But this is what we get when we have lawyer gangs holding people hostage and extorting money in exchange for sanity.
