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.

Hey, it worked for China!
Also, we need to burn the village in order to save it.
Politicians first.
Reduce population? Western societies do that, and it is cultural genocide. The problem is the invaders (muslim, hispanic etc. third worlders) will not limit their numbers.
Why don’t the progressives ever discuss this fact?
(Ever notice two things: How those pimping abortion have already been born, and; how those demanding population reduction never volunteer to go first?)
Yeah, weird, ain’t it? 🤔🤔🤔
They’re all cool with getting rid of others. Seems sorta like Naz........
What was that word again...? 🤔🤪
They sure are brazen.
He's got 'smug know-it-all liberal' written all over him.
“...and make it easier to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions...”
There’s a phrase worthy of execution.
More liberal logic...
The death cultists never sleep.
NaughtZee.
Chattel property ...
(Why don’t the progressives ever discuss this fact?)
It would interfere with their narrative from the Deceiver.
The goats hope the fools embrace their lies.
(I know your question was rhetorical)
Thatts sum gud Inglesh two!!
In Dr.Strangelove the elites discussed repopulating the planet with themselves and attractive women remaining in the survival bunker after total nuclear war. A job they would have to face doing.
🤪
I did NotSee that coming!
Good point.
That is Leftism in a microcosm.
All Leftists have no issue with imposing draconian restrictions on liberty, ability to make money, procreate, own property, drive a car, be subject to rationing, operate gas powered machinery, and all that goes along with that...including the privilege of not being culled from the herd at the whim of the state.
And that is because they all think they will be part of the “Inner Party” that will dictate these things to others.
What all Leftists fail to understand, is that under tyrannical rule, eventually they will become a burden of some kind as well, and they will get the bullet in the back of the head...something they were happy and willing to do to others for “The greater good”.
Me likely! 😂🙌
Let’s start with Adair Turner.

At first glance it would appear he won’t be procreation.
