The issues with population control

The elephant in the room when it comes to the Great Global Warming Scam is that of population control. Its supporters have previously been ignored and relegated to the back as cranks and nutters. Coming from the global warming alarmists that is quite amusing but in reality all their policies must lead to the downsizing of the human species and turning back the clock to where we all work the land to produce our food in a low carbon way. However, lately their voices are being heard and listened to but, thankfully, just ignored by those in power. For the moment anyway.

Their cries are intended for us to sacrifice ourselves and save the Earth. But saving the Earth for what? Not for us humans anyway as we would start dying earlier after hard working lives and our population would decrease. Of course our ancestors would then move towards the industrial revolution 2 and it would all start again. Greenies having died out because of the harsh life or being killed by people like me hunting them down for revenge.

Now the interesting thing is that all the people talking about population control, or not, as the case may be are all in the West where we actually have negative population growth. It seems that we are enjoying life so much and don’t want to be lumbered with baggage that we are not even replacing our kids.

So where are our kids coming from and why is our population growing? Well, it’s easy. We have the people incentivised by benefits to have the kids. They are getting paid to have them and they respond by having more. However, even they are not replacing those from the UK. For population growth we can thank the immigration of people from third world countries who have dozens of kids by their many wives.

Now there is the reason why our population control supporters don’t want to talk about it. In the West we already have population control in a way. We have negative growth. It is other countries that seem to have unrestricted population growth. We should actually be telling them that they need to restrict this growth but the irony is that we can’t because it would be classed as racism. You have just got to laugh.

Now, it seems to be that when a society is raised to a certain level its children stop dying for lack of basics and the people can look beyond the daily grind and then that society starts to have less kids. They want to have the good life. Time to themselves and their culture changes.

My view is that the way forward from this then is not population control but to raise the people to a level they don’t need 10 kids to ensure that they have enough to eat and a roof over their heads. Then they would be the same as us. Cultural differences would be reduced and population growth would then be stagnant. All without having limits on people but clearly the longer we wait the higher the number will be.

A key component of this though is that we no longer subsidise someone having kids. You have what you can afford. Want a kid? You have to earn enough to feed and clothe it. Have one you can’t afford. Take it away for adoption to childless couples and make the parents pay support to them. Harsh but necessary. Contraception is free and nobody nowadays needs to bring an unwanted kid into the world. They do it for selfish reasons. That subsidy would need to be removed worldwide though. What is the point of us doing this to ourselves and allowing other countries to take up the slack and increase their populations? We after all are paying for foreigners to have kids to squeeze out the kids we are not allowed to have. It needs to be one rule for all.

The real issue with population control is that the people that need to do it won’t and unless we use force and a smidgen of nuclear fire (imagine getting that past the UN council) we really can’t do anything to change them.   The only way is through incentives and, ones that are suitable, or we will be classed racists.

So no practical population control and the greenies can go to Africa or Asia and push their population control agendas. See how they get on there. For those really serious about it they can simply sterilise themselves and know they have done the best they can for the planet. Preferably before they have kids.

As there is no way we will get these other countries to limit population growth so how do we bring their societies up quickly to western levels? That is a bit of a quandary as in the current climate we can’t even look after our own people. However, allowing free trade would be a start and it would even help us with the recession. Not much change of our politicians letting anything relax at the moment though. Damn them.
