If we use lowering population as our "discharging infrastructure" as means to reduce our "population-driven demands on natural resources".
And if must be done by ONE MEANS OR ANOTHER ... then it by logic we can morally eliminate population in the USA by deportation (not to mention other draconian means, which, according to global warmists, the means justify the ends).
I think we've just solved the "population-driven" emmissions problem and the illegal immigration problem in the USA with one stone!
What do you think?
death panels are making more and more sense every day ...
eugenics was a NAZI goal, they got the idea from USA progressives.

Our pro-population growth immigration policies will account for about three-quarters of the projected increase of 135 million in our population over the next 40 years. This is the equivalent of adding approximately the combined populations of the UK and Germany. How does population growth impact our energy needs? According to Population-Environment Balance (PEB), 93 percent of the U.S. increase in energy use since 1970 can be attributed to population growth. In 1970 the US consumed 14.7 million barrels of oil a day compared to approximately 22 million barrels today with about 70% of the total now being imported. The Democrats are preaching conservation and Green technology, but fail to mention increased demand due to immigration-fueled population growth. We will have to run just to stand still in terms of meeting our future energy needs. If we were to reduce our annual immigration to 300,000 from the current 1.2 million, by 2060 the population would be 80 million less than the projected 468 million. How much energy would that save?
Bringing third worlders to the US actually increases energy usage since they would use less energy per capita if they remained in the Third World.
zero is probably conducting ongoing negotiations to determine whom survives all the neutron bombs.
Remember, all these evil and ugly men have equally evil and ugly women ... for the sake of global beauty ... THEY MUST BE STOPPED !!!
Think how the environment could be improved if only libs everywhere would just commit mass suicide! They should do it...for Gaia.
Go away, you snivelling dweeb. I'm feeling perfectly chirpy about humans (at least my family and neighbors) and nature (at least the little patch I'm gardening). Have a margarita and drive to the beach house in your mind ... zero emissions!
Well, NYT, let’s decrease immigration from countries that have a smaller ‘carbon footprint’ than our own. Surely when these people come to the US their individual contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide will increase, so we should avoid that. Right?
The ZPG cult could fit into a high school gymnasium for its get together, and it would be whiter than the KKK. Every pronouncement from them stipulates that only whites should curb their procreation because to do otherwise would invoke charges of “racism” and “imperialism” from their leftist cohorts. In other words they are just another joke of the left.
“Overpopulation and Climate Change” - - -

If they are truly worried about population of the earth, they need to try NOT paying them to be unemployed and using their free time to screw.
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!
If we just get rid of all the libs that will solve the population problem... :)
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.
