Well Of Course He Knows Best

It's back. The doomsaying prophecy...

Having More Than 2 Kids Will Destroy Planet, Environmentalist Says

Oh yes, every 30 years or so, one of these idiots pops up to tell us that procreation will be the end of the world.  

I recall back in the 70's when it was all doom and gloom.  The ice age was coming, there were going to be so many humans littering the earth by the year 2000, we were going to be starving to death... there would not be enough food to feed everyone, polution would cause us all to freeze to death, "nuclear winter" was at hand... dire indeed.

They never did explain how the population was going to expand if everyone was dying.  I didn't quite get that. If we're all starving or freezing to death, how is the total population going to keep going up?  Or will it get to a certain point and then we all die at once? 

It was all very confusing to poor little me.

But here we are, well into the 2000's.  The world hasn't quite ended yet.  Which means now, of course, the narrative must change.  (hard to keep up the pretense of imminent death when we've passed the date of extinction)

What to do?  What to do? 

Got it!  Global warming!!!! And population!!!

Now global warming will kill us all.  With milder winters for a while, it's very easy to change the story from "we're all going to freeze to death" directly over to "it's going to be so warm, we'll all die".  (funny how they linger so caressingly over death to humanity yet they all hate children... I can not explain this dicotomy)

Thus, we must stop having children so we can go back to freezing to death?  Is that the point?

Mr Porritt has 2 children of his own.  This is his philosophy:

Porritt, a former chairman of the Green party, says the government must improve family planning, even if it means shifting money from curing illness to increasing contraception and abortion.

So I have a suggestion for Mr. Porritt.  Next time your kids get sick, skip the doctor - let nature take its course.  Donate the money you would've wasted to treat these little blights of the world to your local abortion center.  That way you can kill two kids with one donation.  Should make your day. 

Not sure it would be looked upon so favorably by your kids or the aborted babies.  But the fact that you are saving the world from global warming one child at a time should bouy you tremendously.

It's all in a good cause.
