Climate Misanthropes Say Fighting Climate Change is More important than Food, Reliable Energy, and Peace

Pretty much every problem facing the world today would disappear if humans would simply reduce their population. And all you would have to do is zip up your pants. That's it. It wouldn't cost a dime, don't need the government involved, the effects would begin immediately, and in 70 years or so people could be living much better lives.



Zip It Up And Save The World.



I think I'll start a campaign on Twitter.

The only proven method of reducing global population is lifting people out of poverty and into the middle class. Unfortunately, climate mitigation policies have the opposite effect.

Agreed. Biggest problem the world faces. Wasting money on wind turbines won't help either.

East Asian birth rates declined rapidly in tandem with much higher living standards.

Did you hear about this mother on death row convicted of killing her two year old? She's got 14 kids. FOURTEEN KIDS. You know why she killed her two year old? Because having 14 kids would drive you fucking nuts, that's why! People aren't meant to have that many kids.

And she is probably receiving government handouts.

Rather than ramp up a coherent plan for unemployed coal workers, the auditor general finds, the bureaucrats and politicians did little more than tinker with Employment Insurance



Ottawa's promised "just transition" to a new, low-carbon economy is now revealed as a useless sham.



Coal miners in Alberta and Saskatchewan have faced transition for several years now. But the feds have done nothing to help them, and have no working plan to start despite many promises.



That's the conclusion of the federal auditor general's office, which finds that bureaucrats sat on their fat portfolios even as coal workers were losing their jobs.



Coal mining is itself the canary down a dangerous mine shaft.



There are only about 331 coal miners left in Alberta, down from more than 1,100 in 2017.



If Ottawa can't manage transition for that group, how will it deal with the thousands who are expected to leave oil and gas, as well as agriculture and even forestry, because of federal emissions policy?



Maybe Alberta will look like Newfoundland and Labrador after the federal shutdown of the cod fishery in 1992-93.

Just Transition is just bullshit. It was never a real thing which is why it aint happening.
