From the safety of the political sidelines, former Vice President Al Gore is venturing into a touchy topic, presenting his holistic view of how to curb the buildup of greenhouse gases warming the planet. Besides improving technology to reduce fossil fuel emissions, he is advocating "educating and empowering girls and women."
"That's the most powerful leveraging factor," Gore said in a speech Monday in New York. "When that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices."
Although not entirely spelled out in the speech, Gore's thinking goes this way: If women are confident their children will survive, and if they have access to "fertility management," and if they have the power to decide how many children they want and when to have them, the result would be stabilization of the global population.
As it stands now, demographers at the United Nations forecast that the world's population will hit 7 billion later this year, march past 9 billion in 2045 and exceed 10 billion by the end of the century. Nearly all of the growth is expected to come in poor nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Gore made his remarks at the eighth annual Games for Change Festival, a conference organized by those who want to promote the use of video games for social change.

Al Gore...an agenda 21 pimp.
A man desperately in search of relevancy.
This is boob bait for the college “educated” white kids, crap like this when presented to the people of color by a white male sounds like genocide to them. Or basically he is saying to his base, “Send money.”
Gore would outlaw Heterosexual Marriage in favor of Homosexual Marriage in order to reduce surplus population.
As I thought the Melters at the oildrum won’t even post this story because birth control of the colored masses is a no no subject on the left.
The man is a ghoul, plain and simple.

So pathetic to see a bloated has-been desperately trying to be relevant. How about you do your part, Al, and shut up telling others what to do?
He also needs to include the illegals. Come on Al, you worthless POS, say what you really mean — all of you third world breeders should be controlled (read sterilized) to limit your output.
Since U.S. and European caucasian birth rates have been plateaued or dropping he has to be referring to all of the rest of those populations.
I’m in favor of neutering Al and his spawn as proof of his committment to this idea. Otherwise Al, FOAD.
If he said we should limit immigration so that we’re not a relief valve for second / third world nations I’d be in favor of that. Maybe the countries with high growth would see some reason to slow down, then.
Pretty much all US population growth in the last forty years or so has been from immigration. Of course if natural born citizens weren’t insulating themselves with houses in the exurbs and private schools, they might, just maybe, have more children of their own.
funny how the same garbage coming from these leftists is somehow “compassionate”.....
I think tipper left him because he’s mentally unbalanced.
This is a growth rate of about 0.5% per year, assuming war has finally ended due to our leftist overlords (who start wars in Libya). Farming and building technology improves much faster than that. This is completely a non-issue.
A population problem is not solved by killing babies, a tiny percentage of the population, but by aborting our old sex poodles who linger on much too long.
Imagine a world population with no parasitic leftists.
Fight hunger, deliver Al to the hungry in Africa on a sKewer
are you saying, ‘other wise islam would be controlling the world at this point?’
