Lew Rockwell notices:
Brit woman with a "no kids" policy aborted her baby to reduce her carbon footprint.
"Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet," Vernelli told the Mail, adding she believes bringing new life into the world only adds to the problem.
Disregarding the minor fact that CO2 is irrelevant as a cause of the slight and unproblematic increase of "global temperature" (a tricky concept in itself, as average temperatures do not tell much about the complex picture of local climates and their interaction in the short and the long run), if one insists on the wrong assumption that CO2 causes global warming (while in reality global CO2 emissions follow the up and down of global temperature with a delay of several hundred years), basically we would have to get rid of nature as we know it to "reduce her carbon footprint".
Human emissions (including emissions from industrial production) are an exceedingly negligible contributor to total CO2 emissions. Volcanos, animal effluvia and rotting vegetation account for a much larger part of these emissions. By far the largest contributors are the oceans that take hundreds of years to release or absorb CO2 as they gradually warm up or cool down (hence CO2's lagging behind global temperature).
CO2 is life, and, to make the adjacent point, too, our planet depends on the greenhouse effect, otherwise it would be as barren and uninhabitable as the moon - while there is no evidence at all that we are suffering from a dangerous anomaly in the greenhouse effect, the atmospheric strata where greenhouse-related warming should be noticeable show either no such warming (wrongly predicted by most computer models) or indeed a slight cooling.
I have had already occasion in this blog to notice that "environmental concern" tends to be an excuse for many people to act out their hatred for man (a secularised extension of the religious theme of a naturally sinful mankind) based on assumptions that do justice neither to human beings nor other realms of nature.
Imposing special interests (including, of course, opinions and articles of faith) on society has become such a habit and vast industry that (intellectually and morally) corrupt practices serving this end are no longer recognised by large sections of the population for what they are. Lethal misanthropy, shamanism and such like easily pass as "politically correct" common sense.
We do not face an environmental crisis, but a political one. The world is not getting too warm, it is becoming too sombre - we are back in the Dark Age.
The loss of the ideal of personal liberty undermines our sense of personal responsibility and with it the esteem for human beings and their lifes. Increasingly, individuals come to feel and act like agents of special interests clad as indubitable collective demands, and they are eager to be used or to use themselves as instruments of the horde's myths.
