Reduce Population to Save the Planet, Says Former UK Finance Chief

Britain and other Western nations should welcome declining populations and ageing demographics as it will help them meet climate change goals, the former chairman of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has argued.

In a report from Population Matters entitled Smaller Families and Ageing Populations, Lord Adair Turner, the chairman of the UK Energy Transitions Commission and former head of the FSA, argued that declining native populations will enhance prosperity.

“The biggest reason to welcome this demographic shift is that it results from the free choice of empowered people, and in particular women,” Lord Adair wrote.

“But ceasing endless population growth will also reduce humanity’s future press on the natural environment, ease the challenge of adequate housing provision, and make it easier to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions while supporting prosperity growth in developing countries.”

The report said that Britain could cut carbon emissions by approximately 38 million tonnes by 2035 if it experiences a similar decline in population to Japan, which is expected to see a drop of 9.6 per cent in population from 125m to 113.1m people by 2035.

In contrast, the United Kingdom is expected to see an increase in the population of 5.2 per cent over the same time period to 71.1 million people, driven in large part by mass migration.

Hmmmmm. Reduce the population by XX%? Maybe some evil entity (Dr Evil?) could develop some strain of virus that would panic people into getting unproven medication that could cause possible heart conditio.................. Hey, wait a minute.

If only the nefarious and sinister overlords could come up with a 99% survivable pandemic and mandate everyone receive a vaccine that only kills a few at first then multitudes a few years down the road.

Welcome it, or mandate it, by any means necessary? Globalists don't want to leave anything to chance, and have no qualms about exercising power or using deception.

[Leaning Right]

Reduce population growth? Somehow I don’t think these guys will cooperate.

Demographics is destiny, Lord Adair.

[cranked]

All part of the ‘Great Reset’.....

And embrace lunacy.

declining native populations will enhance prosperity

The deepest error is that it depends _who_ remains.

If productive, hard working, highly intelligent folks are the ones who are left then maybe...

However, if third world unskilled labor replaces a highly skilled local populace, then third world poverty will be the result, regardless of whether the population increases, stays the same or decreases.

Uh, is the bridge out ahead?

Here we go!

Finally, the truth comes out.

Western populations will be replaced by non-western “migrants”, it will do nothing to save the planet from their imaginary CO2 problem.

ICYMI - The UK birthrate has dropped so low that 100 years from now the population in Scotland will be 1/4th of what it is today. Birthrates are crashing across Europe and Asia.

In 10 years the Chinese will have the oldest population of any major nations. Yes. They will be older than Japan!

Yeah, if arrogance of humans were a cure all, we might be okay. LOL!

I love how this government tells all they’re all concerned for our safety. It’s the biggest GD lie in the world. For starters, if they cared at all for our safety our borders would have been secured 40 years ago.

Truth is they want you dead. You’re nothing but a consumer, heavy luggage, and they now see most Americans as resource rapists who ask too many uncomfortable questions.

Ever notice two things: How those pimping abortion have already been born, and; how those demanding population reduction never volunteer to go first?

[proust]

Population reducer and lemme guess, pro vaxx? 🤔

Yes the chippy Brit can start with himself. Same goes for other idiot Leftists.
