Worried About A Bleak Future, Climate Change Activists Hesitant To Have Kids
NPR ^ | August 28, 2016 | Jennifer Ludden

Posted on 08/29/2016 3:57:24 PM PDT by Forgotten Amendments

NANCY NOLAN: I'm old enough to be a grandmother, but I'm not.

LUDDEN: Nancy Nolan tells two younger women that people didn't know about climate change when she had her kids in the '80s. Then she became a climate activist. Her children are grown now.

NOLAN: And when they were old enough to go off on their own, you know, I said to them, I hope you never have children, which is an awful thing to say. It can bring me to tears easily.

If she were serious she would have had a belated “postpartum” abortion and those children wouldn’t have been placed in that untenable position!!! /s

Bull shite.

I am about her same age and Global Cooling was all the rage.

I kept reading about the coming Ice Age. But who in the environmentalist movement could have guessed that the warming trend that had been happening since the early 1800’s would continue. So they had to change their story to match reality.

You can’t scare people effectively telling them about an ice age if you keep having hot summers can you.

An all too familiar outcome to a case where the lawless are armed and the government ensures that the lawful are not.

If she didn’t hear about climate change back then she must have been living under a rock or was illiterate.

They are doing the human race a favor by removing themselves from the gene pool; they wouldn’t breed strong offspring with a will to survive...

Liberals also haven’t identified a simple, ethical solution - if you’re on welfare, every female of childbearing age gets long term contraception they can’t get out of - Norplant or IUD.
If you need the state to provide Section 8 housing, SNAP, childcare, food, utilities, you can’t afford the children you have and aren’t allowed more.
Require all teenaged girls on the welfare to receive the same implants as Mom, and you eliminate 95% of teenaged pregnancies.
Earn enough to get off welfare or marry a man who does the same, implants can come out. It is thus an incentive to marry or become self-sufficient, without the irreversibility of sterilization.
Another benefit of this approach is reducing the childbirth rate among the dependent while not discouraging it among the taxpayers. Conversely, these climate change population control proposals seek to penalize the wealthy having children without any consequences for the poor having more children they cannot afford.

I still think if we convince enough libs to hold their breath for TWO HOURS - think of it, just TWO LOUSY HOURS to SAVE the Entire Planet, save the Polar Bears, and save the Yellow Penised Speckled Grackle Darter - that things would solve themselves pretty quickly...

They Can DO it... They need to Lead. Two little hours, and the world’s a better place!!!

the fewer of these nitwits that there are, so much the better. Climate change has been going on on Earth for millions of years....the great lakes were formed by glaciers receding from as far south as the Ohio river a bunch of years ago, no one complained of global warming then!!!

Perhaps they gave read Mathew 24:19 regarding the last days and is using climate change as a front. “How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!”

Good. They should be expunged from the gene pool.

Most everybody is responding that it’s good that libs aren’t reproducing. I know it’s kidding. But in reality, it’s not unlike child sacrifice in “primitive” cultures.
