On Monday, former Vice President Al Gore discussed climate change and pollution control at the Games for Change convention in New York City. Aside from his usual litanies of environmental advice nuggets, the 2000 presidential candidate delved into family planning.
Curiously, Gore said that couples need to learn to feel comfortable having small families so that pollution can be curbed. When asked about what could be done to address population growth, he said:
One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.
You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important you have to educate girls and empower women. And thats the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.

Owl Gore go buy your own island and have your followers with you until they get fed up also.
Why doesn’t algore just “off” himself and set an example for us to follow?
Good thing that he did not become President of the United States.
typical libtard behaviorist mentality of social planning and social engineering.
If you anagram “global warming” you get (among many others)
“Algor wang limb”.
Weren’t the women of the Western world already called on to have fewer children, and then, right after, told that immigration from the non-Western world was absolutely necessary for the economy because they’d had too few children?
All this coming from the man who kept knockin’ up Tipper until he got a son! Ted Turner is another blowhard when he talks about the need to “control” population.....but doesn’t mention the fact that he has FIVE kids!
I am so tired of the “do as I say, not as I do” crowd - and the adoring media that will never call them on their blatant hypocrisy!
maybe his mother should have chose..
Go to hell Al.
Algore should lobby Zer0 to sign an Executive Order that allows only one child per couple. After all, that has worked so well in China.
Make birth control mandatory for anyone receiving welfare or disability payments.
...because reducing the birth rate has been so successful in China and Europe.
Maybe someone should apply this “fertility management” to welfare queens.
As usual, there is a total disconnect between liberal dogma and the real world. On the one hand, libs want birthrate decline and "sustainable" growth. On the other hand, they want to redistribute wealth so people can lie around, watch tv and draw money for every child they bear,encouraging multiple welfare families. There are already third, maybe fourth, generation welfare families.
Libs/Dems are certifiable--every one of them.

George Soros is another. He’s spawned 5.
Gotta understand, they just want to create a perfect world for their master race with a manageable number of serfs to serve them.
It’s right there in black and white folks. You can’t make this stuff up. Al Gore believes children are pollution. Well, at least other people’s kids.
