It is coldly ironic that in the Christmas season, the time in which the world marks the Incarnation of Jesus Christ and therefore, the season in which the world should also mark the wondrous miracle that is every human birth, Canada's leading newspaper publishes a story which not only endorses Communist China's coercive "one-child" policy, but argues that such a scientifically unsubstantiated and inhumane policy be adopted by the whole world!Lord help us.
Diane Francis is the writer of the National Post piece published in its Financial section. And, as you'll see from the paragraphs I excerpt below, the woman is unhinged. She clearly doesn't care about demographic realities, the green revolution, the differences between overpopulation and overcrowding, etc. She only knows she wants less people around, even if it takes a draconian "planetary law" to get it done.
And, of course, true to the type, Ms. Francis doesn't offer up her own space on the planet. Like the dolt who tailgates you on the highway, she just wants everybody out of her way. (Note -- Ms. Francis has two children herself. I wonder which one will have to go.)
The "inconvenient truth" overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.
A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.
The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate...
The fix is simple. It's dramatic. And yet the world's leaders don't even have this on their agenda in Copenhagen. Instead there will be photo ops, posturing, optics, blah-blah-blah about climate science and climate fraud, announcements of giant wind farms, then cap-and-trade subsidies.
None will work unless a China one-child policy is imposed. Unfortunately, there are powerful opponents. Leaders of the world's big fundamentalist religions preach in favor of procreation and fiercely oppose birth control. And most political leaders in emerging economies perpetuate a disastrous Catch-22: Many children (i. e. sons) stave off hardship in the absence of a social safety net or economic development, which, in turn, prevents protections or development...
For those who balk at the notion that governments should control family sizes, just wait until the growing human population turns twice as much pastureland into desert as is now the case, or when the Amazon is gone, the elephants disappear for good and wars erupt over water, scarce resources and spatial needs.
The point is that Copenhagen's talking points are beside the point.
