As we've previously written, the claimed global warming crisis is being used to motivate any number of social changes. Wesley Smith has published a number of articles on the topic, pointing to the following draconian measures advocated by climate change radicals (Diane Francis, Financial Post):
The "inconvenient truth" overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.The pattern is simple: the perception of a crisis is used to motivate the state/savior image which enables tyranny:A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.
The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.
Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.
The fix is simple. It's dramatic. And yet the world's leaders don't even have this on their agenda in Copenhagen. Instead there will be photo ops, posturing, optics, blah-blah-blah about climate science and climate fraud, announcements of giant wind farms, then cap-and-trade subsidies.
None will work unless a China one-child policy is imposed. Unfortunately, there are powerful opponents. Leaders of the world's big fundamentalist religions preach in favor of procreation and fiercely oppose birth control. And most political leaders in emerging economies perpetuate a disastrous Catch-22: Many children (i. e. sons) stave off hardship in the absence of a social safety net or economic development, which, in turn, prevents protections or development.
China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet.
China's policies of population control include forced abortion and sterilization, discrimination against seconds, and severe penalties against those who criticize the gross violation of human rights. In and of itself, the policies suggested by Francis are morally bankrupt. However, coupled with the ClimateGate scandal and the fact that Francis has violated the policy she advocates, the advocacy of the one-child policy is outrageous.
