Wanting to reduce population is not necessarily a mainstream Warmist tenant, but it does dovetail into the greater enviroweenie notion of a “population bomb” and the top end Progressive notion of eugenics, abortion, and limiting population. The extremists, well, the extreme extremists (kinda like the difference between a Nazi party member and a member of the SS. Or, your average Bin Laden supporter and a member of the Taliban), actually discuss it in terms of killing off humans
(Independent.ie) The remarkable thing is that the real cause of global warming is rarely mentioned. It is the elephant in the room. Everyone can see it but no one wants to speak about it, presumably because this subject is a contentious one and challenges the core beliefs of many religions.
The undeniable fact is that we, the human race, are the cause of our own difficulties and unless we reduce our numbers, we will self-destruct.
But, of course, even the extreme extremist Warmists usually couch who they want to kill off subtly
The highest population growth currently occurs in nations with the greatest poverty. In peasant societies, large families are seen as a form of wealth and an insurance against poverty and starvation in old age.
Interestingly, the nations with high standards of living have in general, low or zero rates of population growth.
We send money to poor nations to help sink wells and buy livestock but do little or nothing about helping them control their rate of reproduction, which in turn creates further famines.
Assistance and education in introducing birth control would surely provide a more lasting solution.
Again, this dovetails nicely into the Progressive notion of eugenics, wanting to limit the number of “minorities”. It is a tenant based on racism and bigotry, on hatred for others.
