Science proves kids are bad for Earth. Morality suggests we stop having them.
NBC News ^ | November 15, 2017 | Travis Rieder

A startling and honestly distressing view is beginning to receive serious consideration in both academic and popular discussions of climate change ethics. According to this view, having a child is a major contributor to climate change. The logical takeaway here is that everyone on Earth ought to consider having fewer children.

Although culturally controversial, the scientific half of this position is fairly well-established. Several years ago, scientists showed that having a child, especially for the world’s wealthy, is one of the worst things you can do for the environment. That data was recycled this past summer in a paper showing that none of the activities most likely to reduce individuals’ carbon footprints are widely discussed.

Travis will keep quacking this twaddle right up to the moment one of the current crop of Muzzie kids separates his head from his shoulders.

These are the stages of genocide:

1. Chase

2. Erase

3. Replace

Why would they do that?

Why would they seek the genocide of their own genetic kin?

But, but, ...the migrants and rape-ugies won’t stop having kids.

They want to rule over savages, it just makes the decisions easier.

Let me guess: Children of the wealthy consume more of the earth’s resources (material wealth - Capitalism is BAD for Mother Earth!). So, Elon Musk better get that vasectomy right now!! XD

Philosophy of genocide.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Creating new life through love,conception and birth is the only truly divine act allotted to mankind. Sine our lives are short, it is the only way we can achieve continuity through birth old age sickness and death, in the continuous cycle of birth, death and suffering from impermanence that invests all material things on this Earth.

It is laughable and ironic in the extreme that lefty liberals do not perceive this truth. and it damns them to the darkness of ignoble termination of their personal genetic lineage upon their own deaths.This makes them more like animals than human beings.

Deny the divine acts allowed YOU as a human being, and YOU becomes essentially an outcast from the human race.A Zombie.

Science proves nothing. It is a mere tool of intellect.It can be used or misused. It is not surprising that these Zombies would misuse science.

We need more wars, too. Preferably with germ warfare, and not ordinary germs, but mutating viruses, like in King’s The Stand. The Future demands more death.

Science proves that the person who wrote the article has very little common sense.

I think they should show us the way. Then we can choose whether to follow them, or not.

For us, you mean. Not for them. They want a world on feudal lords and obedient serfs, if not slaves. Screw ‘em.

Adults are even WORSE, if you can believe it! I think that those concerned about the planet should assist it, and do the right thing, if you know what I mean.
