Regular BreakPoint listeners know about the inhumane lengths some environmentalists are prepared to go to save the planet.
Some have proposed taxing the parents of newborns several thousand dollars to discourage child-bearing, and thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Others have spoken of culling the human herd.
What these proposals have in common, besides their cold-bloodedness, is that mainstream environmentalists keep insisting that they are fringe views. Well, recent statements from sources that couldnt be more respectable put the lie to those claims. And they should remind Christians why the sanctity of human life must be our highest priority.
During the recent U.N. global warming summit in Copenhagen, China came under fire for not doing enough to reduce its CO2 emissions. However, China had at least one defender: Canadas Financial Post.
According to Canadas equivalent to the Wall Street Journal, China is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation. Hold it a minute! How can the worlds leading emitter of CO2, and home to 16 of the worlds most polluted cities, be a world leader?
Simple: its one-child policy. According to the Financial Post, the inconvenient truth overhanging the deliberations in Copenhagen is that humans are overpopulating the world. Whats needed is for the entire world to embrace Chinas one-child policy.
This simple and dramatic fix would reduce global population by 50 percent by 2075. According to the paper, the failure to even consider such a measure at Copenhagen is proof that world leaders arent serious about global warming. Im not making this up.
Advocating a global one-child policy doesnt make the Financial Post as bad as the Chinese governmentit makes it worse. The Chinese policy was an inhumane, brutal, and totalitarian effort to address the historic problems posed by Chinas huge population.
In contrast, the Financial Post and others like it are motivated by a worldview that sees humans as a kind of virus infecting mother earth. For Gaias sake, they want the human population brought under controleven at the cost of human freedom and life itself.
In the aftermath of the Manhattan Declaration, some people questioned our focus on life issues. They wondered why we didnt include other concerns, like the environment.
This is why. The sanctity of human life is under continuous assault. This assault isnt limited to abortion and euthanasiacontempt for human life itself has become respectable. For the sake of the planet, we are being asked to drastically reduce our numbers.
But radical environmentalists dont mean people like themselvesafter all, their home countries, with the exception of the United States, are losing population. They mean the poorest and most vulnerable people on the planet. Its no coincidence that a recent ad in a British newspaper about the link between CO2 emissions and population control featured 12 African babies.
This is the inconvenient truth overhanging the debate about environmental issues.
And its why the sanctity of human life is so important. If you havent done so, go to ManhattanDeclaration.org, sign the statement, and get your friends to do the same thing.
The assault on humanity is going to get a lot worse.

The fact of the matter is that they are not as interested in saving the planet as they are in controlling the planet.
Then force it on the rest of the world. In one generation, going to be a mighty big group. Then what's the plan? Have another war and kill them off?
enviroweenies don’t qualify as human beings. They don’t even qualify as animals.
They are an infectious and deadly disease which needs to be eradicated.
Apparently quasi legal abortion is still not enough to curtail the population. Mother wants MORE.
Satan's minions are like vampires, the more blood they taste, the more they crave.
Now their assault on life continues with Global Warming.
There's just something essentially wrong with environmentalists. Something essentially evil.
The fact of the matter is that they are not as interested in saving the planet as they are in controlling the planet.
Wonder just what could be said about folks who think they have the capacity to control the planet. They may have the capacity, to control certain portions of the population of the planet, but the planet itself is controlled by only one, and “they” ain’t it, and they will never be it, and as long as they claim such power they will be not only our enemy but the enemy of the Creator.
enviromentalist whack jobs need to start kicking their own dang buckets...
essentially evil.
If only they had a clue. Remember DDT and the rising death rate following the banning of its use world wide by government. That whole issue was caused by rabid environmentalists. fortunately much of the false and deceptive “junk science” that went into the decision, has been thoroughly debunked except in the environmentalists mind.
Just enough of me, way too much of you ...
Green is the New Religion on the Block. Maybe that’s why the Church of Obama has been displaced. He’s not Green enough.
Environmentalists personalize everything and humanize everything. A rock now has feelings. A tree should have an attorney. Animals have rights to life . . . but unborn HUMANS do not. Anyone else see a problem here?
Remember . . . The Conservatives Guide to Saul Alinsky’s Rules . . . # 3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.
For the Statist, this means assaulting Conservatives with Double standards and lies. It means spewing an outrageous Lie at a Conservative, and quickly following up with another big lie while the Conservative is refuting the first Lie and so on. It means overwhelming the Conservative with rhetorical BS as a way of silencing the Conservative.
We Conservatives know that with the facts and logic on our side, we can win any argument with the Statists as long as it is a fair venue. The Statists can only win if the deck is stacked in their favor and their lies aren’t challenged. They can only win when they are the Only voice or possible if it’s ratio of 5 Statists against one Conservative.
And Rule # 4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
Given that Statists seemingly have no moral code, this would appear to be a good tactic for them. But in reality, they do have rules rules they want everyone else to live by, but not themselves Statists are nothing if not hypocrites.
Therefore, we Conservatives should insist that the Statists lead by example live by their own set of stupid rules and admonitions.
If they favor disarming the law-abiding [gun control], they should first give up their guns and security personnel and proudly announce that they are disarmed.
They want to screw the achievers with high taxes, they should eagerly pay extra.
They want the rest of us to go green, fine let them give up their mansions and live in an Environmentally friendly cardboard shack somewhere first
If they want to suppress what they term hate speech they should be first to shut their collective pie holes.

HOIST THEM ON THEIR OWN PETARD!
It’s hard to believe that people can be this kind of evil. The really scary part is that they’re not advocating killing Africans for any legitimate survival purpose (like the little critters on “Meerkat Manor” do), it’s all a made up issue from start to finish.
“the claim in the OPT report (is) that the 10 metric tons of carbon emitted by a single return flight from London to Sydney could be “offset” by “enabling the avoidance of one unwanted birth in a country such as Kenya.”
If Hitler was still alive he would be Algore’s partner selling “carbon offsets”.
