It had to happen sooner or later – the population control eco-freaks are coming out of the woodwork. In this bit of lunacy we’re only a few logical steps away from putting sterilising chemicals in the water supply (an approach already advocated in the past by Obama’s Science Czar). From Comment is Free in The Grauniad:

The worst thing that you or I can do for the planet is to have children. If they behave as the average person in the rich world does now, they will emit some 11 tonnes of CO2 every year of their lives. In their turn, they are likely to have more carbon-emitting children who will make an even bigger mess. If Britain is to meet the government’s target of an 80% reduction in our emissions by 2050, we need to start reversing our rising rate of population growth immediately.

All children are bad, but Western children are particularly bad, because according to the Gaiaist religion,

the poorer you are, the less carbon you emit. By today’s standards, a cull of Australians or Americans would be at least 60 times as productive as one of Bangladeshis. …one less British child would permit some 30 women in sub-Saharan Africa to have a baby and still leave the planet a cleaner place.

As usual, the role model for eco-nutters is communist China, which is praised for reducing its population by hundreds of millions by dictating to parents that they can only have one child – a policy that often results in infanticide for baby girls. If Nazism and Communism could leave tens of millions dead, what will be the death toll if the evil freaks driving the environmentalism movement get the leverage to inflict their anti-Western and antihuman fantasies? At least this will make life easier for the Lib Dem fascists in Watford who have banned parents (hat-tip Dizzy) from stepping on playgrounds where their children are now to be marched up and down in complete safety by an approved and vetted PlayRangerFuhrer. There won’t be any children to save…
