The idea of a society committing suicide for environment's sake becomes quite popular among radical environmentalist groups.
Paul Watson, president of the Sea Shepherd organization (and former Sierra Club board member), posts regular diatribes against population on his web site. In a May 4th editorial, he insists that human beings act "in the same manner as an invasive virus" on the earth. "I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the 'AIDS of the Earth,'" he went on. "I make no apologies for that statement."
The so called "sierra club", a group which considers itself environmentalist is somehow preoccupied mostly with the population control issues.
"Over 250,000 women need publicly supported contraceptive services in Minnesota," the section's first sentence urges. It goes on to complain that "the President's budget slashes funding for international family planning by $111 million, nearly one fourth of the FY 2007 funding level," and criticizes Bush’s support for abstinence education.
One could even picture a quarter-million women lining up for public contraception service. Another group that calls itself a "Clean Water Action Council of Northeastern Wisconsin" (yet has nothing to do with pipes and water towers) goes even further:
"Human population growth is the number one threat to the world's environment" ... "we need to limit our growth voluntarily, and promote contraceptive use, before Nature controls our population for us with famines, drought and plagues. Our children's future depends on us."
I wonder what children are they talking about? Those that they want us
not to have? I wonder if this self-proclaimed "clean water council" ever heard about the
environmental damage caused by widespread use of chemical contraceptives. Apparently for them the end justifies the means so they keep promoting chemicals that pollute our lakes and rivers more than all industrial waste put together.
A pair of environmentalist professors, Paul R. Kleindorfer, and Ulku Oktem, said as much in a series of lectures quoted in an online article entitled "Guilt is Good: A New Approach to Environmental Problems". The two professors go on lecture tours extolling the power of guilt in pushing the environmentalist agenda.
But what do those who have been made to feel guilty about the space that they take up on the planet do? They not only restrict their own fertility, they busily set about restricting the fertility--and the freedoms--of others as well. As Joseph D'Agostino so aptly put it in his Weekly Briefing of February 2nd, they want everyone to become "eunuchs for the green kingdom."
Wonder what would it look like? Just ask any refugee from China.
