Save the Planet: Have Fewer Kids

For people who are looking for ways to reduce their "carbon footprint," here's one radical idea that could have a big long-term impact, some scientists say: Have fewer kids.

A study by statisticians at Oregon State University concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environment-friendly practices people might employ during their entire lives - things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.

"In discussions about climate change, we tend to focus on the carbon emissions of an individual over his or her lifetime," said study team member Paul Murtaugh. "Those are important issues and it's essential that they should be considered. But an added challenge facing us is continuing population growth and increasing global consumption of resources."

I saw this yesterday. The poll is even more disturbing :(

In France, they're paying women to have kids. It would seem the only place on the whole Constinent where people want to bring lots of kids into this ugly world is among the freest--Ireland. But France is the first to have resorted to bribery...

and following the logic of the OP text, then immigration, either legal or illegal, is bad ecologically.

it converts someone with a small carbon footprint (alien) to someone with a large carbon footprint (resident or citizen) since the US is purported to have the largest footprints.

so how does someone support carbon footprint reduction and immigration at the same time? they just don't realize their hypocrisy yet.

Russia has been having bribes for some time now, too.

I wonder how many child births per woman will be covered under our beloved government health insurance. I wouldn't be surprised to see that get a limit at some point ... Of course, no limit on abortions.
