Scientists can use their knowledge of climate to make forecasts of climate conditional on CO2 levels. It is not their place to dictate what if anything should be done about climate change.

Reducing welfare payments based on the number of children in a household would discourage some births. Do the scientists support that? Almost all future population growth is expected to come from Africa, since that is where fertility is still much higher than replacement level. Do the scientists think population control efforts should be focused on Africa?

the planet needs fewer people to effectively combat climate change; arguing “population control” is necessary to limit the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.

the culture of hatred = nihilism

Nihilism = destruction of man and destruction of values

Interesting that this appears just below a thread/article on ancient Peruvian sacrifices of children because of... “climate change”.

Any volunteers among the liberals to self terminate or even to cease all consumption of all fossil fuels directly or indirectly? [crickets] I thought not.

Fiiiiiine! Go preach that gospel in the Middle East and Africa. They’re the ones with the high birth rates. The West + China, Korea, Japan, etc have low birth rates.

So Gaia worshipers agree the world needs fewer brown babies. (Sound of record scratching). errrrr......ummmmm.......

This is the point at which I grab a bowl of popcorn.

I am old enough to remember all the talk about Zero Population Growth in the 60’s & 70’s.

Seems someone was right then....now it might be too late.

But a world wide biological event could help these people reach their goal.

Earth First was advocating that out of every 63 persons on the planet, 62 would have to be eliminated. OF COURSE -—THEIR followers were survivors.

Agreed! Liberals, illegals and millennials supporting socialism should all cease to reproduce.

UN Agenda 21 calls for Earth’s population to reduced by about 85%.

Fossil fuels ARE renewable.

Oil companies have been pumping oil since the first oil well in 1847 in Baku.

They are still finding more and bigger oil reserves.

So far, nothing is more sustainable. Wind and solar ends up costing more and delivering less. Electricity still depends on fossil fuel.

The best way to start the population control would be to 'end' those 11,000 experts -- who would, of course, volunteer to show the rest of us 'the way'.

Well, those 11,000 can make a decent start if they off themselves.

If not, then they must not really be committed to the cause.

More than 11,000 experts from around the world

Experts at what? Flower arranging? Just like that 97% who say man-made climate change is true, when investigated, turns out to be 75 of 79 climate scientist saying so out of 1,400 other scientists attending a seminar.

Let's see a breakdown of what these "scientists" do. Science today is so compartmentalized that they just take each others word for it when outside of their discipline.

Most on this Death Cultivation Ping List don’t need 11,000 hacks looking to keep their research grants to inform us at this late date what are the misanthropic religious beliefs of their elite Prog funders.

Furthermore, we long ago grokked where their fanatical but faux Sustainability worshiping was headed.
