Yes, Certainly - Illegal Immigration (an extra 15-20 million people) raises the US’ Carbon Footprint. The only environmentally sound answer is to deport all of the illegal immigrants!

Yes!
It’s the only ecologically moral thing to do!

I’d say, by their own ends-justify-the-mean logic, that is on the table!

And if the libs don’t all come and line up and volunteer to die, then they are just proving that they don’t care about the earth and the environment! LOL

You know, Prince Phillip once said something like “If I could be reincarnated, I would come back to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”
What a jerk...

“... outlook for both humans and nature remains bleak.”

The only thing that has a “bleak outlook” is the NY Times.

LOL, that is true.
It’s also sort of sad in a way since it is so entertaining (not to mention easy) to mock the logic of many of their contributors.

I don’t disagree with your argument, but the article itself summed up well in post #15 graphic-— It was the article, not your logic, which I thought clever.

Of course, the really funny sad thing is that it has been shown all over the world in just about every culture that western-style prosperity lowers population growth. Of course liberals can't have that. Gotta keep them yellow and brown folk in their place.

don’t you know it. Did a math exercise a while back that showed that the entire population of the united states, and I mean every man woman and child, so that would mean those who live in my house right now would spread to 4 different homes, on a 50x100 lot, would not fully fill half the state of texas, leaving the rest of the country uninhabited. It is not a thought that city dwellers can wrap their minds around. This country is so enormous, you can drive for miles and miles between neighbors in most parts of the middle of this country. There are places you can drive hundreds of miles between them. People only see what is right in front of their faces, and when you stack each other up 100 stories high in a city, it must be easy to believe that everyone lives that way and we are overcrowded.

I imagine landmass wise, the same process can be replicated even in india, china, and other countries.

Enviromentalists are hypocrites. They claim to be for the environment, yet support all the illegal immigration from Mexico. The Arizona desert is littered every day with garbage, old discarded clothing, feces and urine, and sometimes even dead bodies. When an overloaded car causes illness in the vehicle, they often stop and shove the sick person outside the van and take off stranding them on the desert.

Particularly precarious is the situation of pregnant women trying to get into the USA illegally in a crowded van. They are the first ones to be discarded on the desert as they get nauseous from the crowding. My sister who lives in Green Valley told me that recently a young Mexican boy called the government authorities (911?) because his mother had become sick, and the driver of the van had ejected her and her son from the vehicle in the middle of the desert. The boy was frantic as his mother was dying. They were about 10-15 miles from Tucson (I think).
