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.

WTF is THAT??! What's next, Soylent Green?
And there we have it, the murderous, human-hating impulse of Green.
Baroness Warnock: Dementia sufferers may have a 'duty to die'
Where do I report for re-education?
Enforced by forced abortions, of course. The good old Red USA.
Damn. My entire family has been irresponsible in having children except my brother and his wife who only have one so far but are not done. Whoever wants to limit the number of children is nuts.
This is in England, right? But, coming to a country near you soon I fear.
You nailed liberal thought!
Convicted serial killer = No capital punishment!
Third child = Mandatory Abortion
I agree that fewer people would be better.
Dig a hole and round up the useless liberals.
They are the ones without guns.
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:
Remarkable family. A wonderful example for all.
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.
China, actually.
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.
The wife and I only have 4 but I have a feeling God has more planned for us.
Thats what I tell anybody who says there are to many people if it is such a good idea they should start with themselfs.

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!
You first!
hehehe
They truly are. I also love Jon and Kate Plus Eight.
