UK Professor: Only Way to Save Planet Is to ‘Let Humans Become Extinct’

Giving birth to a child is “the worst thing you can do” to the climate, says philosophy professor Patricia MacCormack of Anglia Ruskin University.

The professor, author of The Ahuman Manifesto: Activism for the End of the Anthropocene who describes herself as an “old school goth,” says that the only way to save the planet is to stop having children and allow humans to become extinct.

According to the official description of the book, MacCormack “actively embraces issues like human extinction, vegan abolition, atheist occultism, death studies, a refusal of identity politics, deep ecology, and the apocalypse as an optimistic beginning.”

Due to global overpopulation, giving birth is the worst thing you can do to the planet, MacCormack sustains, while insisting that she is not advocating wiping out the existing population but rather letting it die off.

She’s doing her part to make sure no male of the species attempts to breed with her.

When this professor stands in Hyde Park Corner on a soap box and slits his throat with a knife, I shall not entertain his logic.

But, the overlords are special and do not need to do this!

“Due to global overpopulation, giving birth is the worst thing you can do to the planet, MacCormack sustains, while insisting that she is not advocating wiping out the existing population but rather letting it die off.”

The best way to reduce overpopulation is via industrial and economic growth. As a populaces becomes more wealthy the birth rate goes down. They no longer need many children to work on subsistence farming and subsistence jobs.

It really is that simple.

So, the Earth has survived asteroid and comet bombardments, a collision that formed the moon, neighboring supernovas, and gamma-ray bursts over the past five billion years, but cannot survive human-generated CO2.

If we get rid of all the leftist in the world, we would be at a perfect number of people. So get on it lefties. There are plenty of tall buildings in the cities that most of you are in.

So, if we are all extinct, why should we care about the state of the planet? If fact, who will do the “caring”?
