It’s all fine and good for John Kerry to utter a fundamental truth about a major driver of climate catastrophe, but it is a useless proclamation without offering a solution.

Have enough tipping points been breached that there are no prescriptions to offer?

    Alarmist headlines frame population declines in certain countries as a “demographic timebomb.” Governments respond with pronatalist incentives for large families and/or laws restricting abortion and contraceptives.

    Hey, just want to throw out there that discussing abortion rights in the same breath you are talking about global population control probably isn’t the greatest of ideas.

      Has anyone mentioned immigration? What about welfare? Removing those would help a great deal. So would my personal favorite solution, which is putting wolf habitats in the middle of cities so that they eat the weak.

        I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. It’s clearly satire, folks. I especially like the part about wolves. Can we do that?
