Here is an example of what global warming will be misused for in order to radically constrain our freedoms. "Two children should be limit, says green guru." It is appalling to me that society would start to advocate the government's intervention into requiring the use of contraception and abortion in order to limit the size of families in order to curb global warming.
Jonathon Porritt, the (British) government’s green adviser has warned that "couples who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an unbearable burden on the environment." What an arrogant and totalitarian thing to say!
This has always been one of my fears as to what "global warming" will be used for to restrain in our lives, and in this case they are using it to attack the family!
What about the right to privacy that abortion advocates fought for? If things continue down this path we will not have the right to choose the number of children we want, whether or not we want to use contraception, or have an abortion. It will be mandated to have abortion and contraception! No more freedom to choose and it is all done in the name of global warming to save the planet!
I have come to learn that environmentalism is a religion even though most environmentalist claim to be atheist. Their god is the earth. As for this situation this British environmentalist is willing to mandate abortion and limit freedom all in the name of global warming!
Finally we are seeing some of the hidden motives of the "global warming crisis." Listen to this, "A campaign group of which Porritt is a patron, says each baby born in Britain will, during his or her lifetime, burn carbon roughly equivalent to 2½ acres of old-growth oak woodland - an area the size of Trafalgar Square." They are more worried about what future effects the unborn will have on the environment than the consequences of restricting individual unalienable rights and freedoms and the consequences of mandating abortion. I really hope and pray it will not come to this.

Global Warming used to Attack the Family!

Yes, it has been taken too far now. I think it's good to be environmentally minded, to a point, and ya know, recycle this and that, and drive a hybrid. But when it comes to worrying about how much carbon molecules my new baby boy will put into the atmosphere with each breath he takes, which has the potential to kill a tree or two, it has gone way too far. Trees are here for humans to use. We should take good care of them, but they are not here to replace humans.
It seems to me these people have an agenda here....more than just genuine concern for the environment. It's more than that.
Usurpation of unalienable rights?
Probably.
Ya know, it's ironic that this argument would come from Europe, of all places. Europe has been dealing with the problem of population decrease recently, with projections only to get worse. A decreasing population promises many economic problems.
Of course, this guy is advocating no more than 2...the number of children needed to simply maintain the population. So perhaps that's what he wants: 1 child is too little because then the population decreases over time...which is bad; 2 children is just right because it maintains the current population level; 3 children is too much because now there's too many mouths to feed, too many lungs producing toxic CO2.
The thing is, not everyone will have 2 kids, so even if they were to initiate such a policy, within 50 years, the population would drop significantly, causing problems people like Jonathon Porritt would hate to live with in his old, retired age.
