Stop having children to preserve the Planet




by canares » 04/02/09, 15:58

it is quite surprising as a proposal but it seems that this is not a joke. It was an Englishman who made this brilliant suggestion. According to him each baby born in Great Britain, will burn, during his life, the amount of carbon equivalent to Trafalgar Square. Strongly seen as ... is not very optimistic as a situation. On the other hand, overcrowding is likely to be a problem fairly quickly in many countries. It is sure that by letting the human race die the earth may have a chance to survive longer ...
Think about the question : Cheesy:

In French we do not put a capital letter at the beginning of each word !!

Please correct your title so ...

Otherwise the idea "the less we are, the more rice we have" is, at least, as old as Malthus: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthus

The Chinese have been exercising for 30 years ...

So the "brilliant British suggestion" frankly ... what does that mean: "the amount of carbon equivalent to Trafalgar Square" ??? The mass? The surface?

It starts to stuff me this "PARANOCO2" that we see everywhere there ... less 20% of CO2 and presto it's green (fluorescent!) !!

Yeah! :D Besides, I have already said it several times on these forums: "die more" : Cry:
I call collective suicide once more: do as I do: alcohol kills slowly (except when driving: stay careful)

That said, the Chinese have understood: one child is fine, two, hello damage.

If you want to fight against paranoid CO2, I recommend this site: you will like : Mrgreen:

Whatever we do, the earth will continue on its way for another few billion years ... Besides, it has already seen many others.
What, on the other hand is well threatened, is the survival of a humanity which is bent on creating the conditions for its own disappearance.
The solution is not to stop having children, but to stop behaving childishly and irresponsibly.
To put it another way, continue (moderately) the children and stop (as quickly as possible) the bullshit.

Jonathon Porritt. Here is someone who dares to ask THE real question: that of the carrying capacity of the earth. Someone who is not afraid of this taboo subject and religious ideologies. It is time that we seriously reflect on the demographic question. Let us confront the physical constraints of the planet and access to natural resources to the freedom of each couple to give birth to as many children as they wish.

Well, logically the limitation of resources, primarily food, is a "good" regulator of demography ...

Bonsoir.

I understand what you are writing:

Unfortunately, this will not happen.

Because we are always the idiot of another.
