First the green radicals went after our car emissions.
Now they are going after YOUR EMISSIONS, including children...

The caps in the excerpt below are mine for emphasis...

Global Warming Alarmists Propose
Limiting Population...


In a statistical study entitled “Reproduction and the Carbon Legacies of Individuals,” published in Global Environmental Change by Murtaugh and Shlax of Oregon State University, and again published here , the authors propose that the potential savings from reduced reproduction rates among humans are some 20 times more effective than the savings wrought by life style changes.

It is clear that the authors follow the Liberal mantra of the ends justify the means. If we can reduce carbon emissions by reducing the number of children, then we should do it, they gloat. It appears that carbon reductions trump even “life” itself. They summarize:

"Much attention has been paid to the ways that people’s home energy use, travel, food choices and other routine activities affect their EMISSIONS of carbon dioxide and, ultimately, their contributions to global warming. However, the reproductive choices of an individual are rarely incorporated into calculations of his personal impact on the environment. Here we estimate the extra EMISSIONS of fossil carbon dioxide that an average individual causes when he or she chooses to have children. The summed EMISSIONS of a person’s descendants, weighted by their relatedness to him, may far exceed the LIFETIME EMISSIONS produced by the original parent. Under current conditions in the United States, for example, each child adds about 9441 metric tons of carbon dioxide to the carbon legacy of an average female, which is 5.7 times her LIFETIME EMISSIONS. A person’s reproductive choices must be considered along with his day-to-day activities when assessing his ultimate impact on the global environment."
