Below a picture of 12 black babies, the caption warns: Babies in Dakar, Senegal. Then, with a literary sigh of relief, the subtitle to the caption points out that a cost analysis commissioned by [the Optimum Population Trust] claims that family planning is the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions (1). In other words, the destructiveness of such babies, these carbon emitters, can be counteracted if we prevent them from being born in the first place.
What is truly disturbing about this, from a humanist perspective, is not simply that there is a silent crusade against the unique quality of human life, but that there is an almost complete absence of anger about it, a lack of any critical reaction against it. In modern times, there have always been small coteries of Malthusians, eugenic fantasists and bitter misanthropists who were estranged from children and who regarded babies as an imposition on their existences. Thankfully, these people tended to be consigned to the margins of society. Not any more.
A world that can place an equal sign between a baby and carbon is one that has lost its faith in humanity. This profound sense of malaise about the human condition is most systematically expressed around the extravagant, quasi-religious, time-is-running-out rhetoric that surrounds the Copenhagen conference on climate change, which started this morning. But it is important to recognise that the current anxiety about the destructive potential of human life is not a direct consequence of the issue of climate change. The campaign against climate change merely provides a vehicle through which a pre-existing sense of human self-loathing can be articulated. If climate change did not exist, the very same misanthropic sentiment would find expression through other issues.

The thing is, is that these nations need to be industrialized not fed contraception and food. The Euroweanies could industrialize these nations with septic, energy, water, and other various plants.

we’ve tried encouraging birth control for over 40 years. some of the struggling nations refuse the birth control believing it is genocide (africana), and other nations believe their way to gain control of the world is to have as many babies as possible (Islam/LaRaza).
unless they have a new plan it’s just throwing money away on more unnecessary government jobs

I have to wonder if they’re trying to decrease a particular population.
Vlad Tepes (aka Dracula) would not be more brutal, but didn’t need Darwinism as his excuse, rather being religiously Christian, but informed of the more devious methods of torture by the Turks.
That’s what I’m saying too. They advocate others being aborted yet they continue to emit pollution.

Our world is DOOMED when crap like this is happening.<P.GOD will NOT be Mocked.
I agree-if people want birth control, they should have it, as long as they understand any risks associated with it. Give them the ability to prevent abortion.
