COUPLES who have more than two children are being irresponsible by creating an unbearable burden on the environment, the governments green adviser has warned.
Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the governments 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.

Awesome!
Large families were meant to be the norm.
What a joke. They’re bringing in Muslims who breed like rabbits by the shipload, and this clown has the gall to say this with a straight face.
He is not amused.
Another of these loony Brits. What’s creepy is that so many of them have official positions in their government. I suppose they’re in ours, too ... but at least we have guns.

Another example of Liberals: They have ALL the ideas-—about how OTHERS should live their lives!

I have four kids.....
I also idle my SUV excessively with the air-conditioner on......
Sometimes I just get in my car in the driveway, and let it idle for hours for no apparent reason....
I’m now public enemy #1......
If they (the Greenies) want a reduction in the population...then how about....
A legal hunt for the Greenies?
If so, what would be the bag limit?

He hasn’t forgotten the adage. Those who are deemed to be the right sort of people(libs+Muslims)will be given passes.
The welfare crowd won’t like this news.

I won't say "keep up the good work" since I figure you've already acheived emeritus status.
Cheers!
I got a ping from one of my NC Forum FRiends. Unfortunately for North Carolina, I can’t have children fast enough to offset the immigration of liberal Yanks!
Watch the DVD “Demographic Winter” and you will know with the sociologists and economists who put it tegether, that our huge problem in the next 40 years will be a big decline in the percentage of the younger age groups. Population is increasing for the next few decades only becasue the older folks are living longer. As one Harvard commentator said in the movie “It is not that we are reproducing like rabbits, it is that we are not dying like flies.” When the population over 60 expands and the population of workers to support them declines, we will be in for some rocky social-economic times. Why do you think Russia, Italy, France, Sweden, Japan and other countries are trying desperately to increase the number of babies born? Green issues decline in popularity in the face of economic hardship. If the greens were truly interested in promoting their cause, they would champion more children to stabilize economies. Like so many issues that the greens promote, there is little reasoning and excess emotion.

Or do you mean gall (outrageous insolence; effrontery)?
Regards,
Green guru doesn’t realize socialist governments will collapse if families limit children to two and population is stagnant or decreases. Socialist Europe is already facing this crisis and limiting children per family would just accelerate it.
This is good for freedom loving people, but bad for greenies who make NAZI’s look weak in comparison.
I can see the promotional slogans now: “Your U.S. Government: Still Slightly More Lenient Than Red China.”
