Fantastic…save the planet for future generations by not having a future generation.

This is the fourth instance I’ve encountered this nonsensical plan to stop “global warming”. Even the British Government is getting on board with this scheme:

London, Nov 14 (ANI): A top British Liberal Democrat has proposed a solution to combat global warming – put a full stop on babies.

Chris Davies has warned that halting population growth, as an answer to global warming, would prove to be far more efficient than trying to cut pollution.

The North West England MEP added that families should be encouraged to have no more than one child in an effort to combat climate change.

But he said he did not support “Chinese-like ideas of compulsion”.

“What’s the single most effective thing couples can do to play a part in combating global warming? It is to have no more than one child,” the Mirror quoted him, as saying.

Note that these increasing calls for banning children in order to save the planet doesn’t resound in middle eastern cultures. However, this idiocy could bear fruit (pardon the pun) if liberals would stop having children and/or sterilize the ones they already have – in one or two generations we can save the world from ourselves.
