The global warming debate has always been a touchy one for both sides, and when the world’s top global warming activist is talking about the size of population and how that contributes to the choices societies make, it might be worth taking note.
In an appearance Monday in New York City, former Vice President Al Gore, prominently known for his climate change activism, took on the subject of population size and the role of society in controlling it to reduce pollution.
He offered some ideas about what might be done for females in the name of stabilizing population growth. (h/t Chris Horner via wattsupwiththat.com)
“One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women,” Gore said. “You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.
“You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women,” he said. “And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”
Gore’s son had a severe accident (run over as a small kid) but did not die. Health now is OK.
Apparently not...it's now
"Children are Pollution and need to be Curbed"
Guess he misspoke before...
. Read America Alone by Mark Steyn. He discusses this in detail.

great points!
FR recently had several articles about the severe population decline in Britain and Europe,
but said 20% of ALL babies there, are born to an immigrant mother...
and it should truly scare people, that in London, Amsterdam, Paris... the most common male baby name
is Mohammad...
Dr. Albert Gore, PHD. wants to educate girls and empower women. Next thing you know, he will be going on a 50 state tour to do so. After this guys latest mishap, there should be a court order preventing him from coming within 30 feet of a woman.
How much longer will it be before leftists like Gore start promoting the extermination of the handicapped and elderly to reduce pollution and save the plant?
The highest service that Gore could render to Mother Earth is to jump off a bridge.
You got that exactly right. Well-stated.
I see, we can’t point out the death panels but a marxist can openly discuss population control while the media is to stupid to connect the dots.
Thanks, I should check my own facts.
AMEN!!!
Al needs to lead by example. Everyone else’s kids should go but not the assclown’s! Another brain fart from the idiot!
You have a leftist view. And I don’t like it.
I do not believe that I have a leftist view and could care less what you like.
