Climate Activists Suggest Parents Should Be Penalized For Having "Extra Kids"

The myth that is overpopulation is already starting to unravel before our eyes, just as predicted years ago. The propaganda will only work on the masses for a few more years before the mathematical reality will render it impossible to believe anymore.

Birth rates have now officially declined below the necessary 2.1 replacement rate to maintain population in most every developed country in the world, with some Asian country birth rates now so low, their governments are actually attempting to pay the population to reproduce. China even relaxed its one child policy to two children. (They did the math.)

Enter Bill Nye the Propaganda Guy (as in, Bill Nye the Authoritarian Carbon Tax Guy or Bill Nye the "Try 'Climate Change Deniers' as War Criminals" Guy), our used-to-be friendly, bow-tie-wearing rabid anthropogenic climate change pusher, who is now casually discussing with bioethicists on his new show how people should maybe be punished for having "extra kids."

Nye asked one of the panelists on the Tuesday episode of his Netflix show "Bill Nye Saves The Earth" if it would be a good idea to have the government penalize having "extra kids."

"Should we have policies that penalize people for having extra kids in the developed world?" Nye asked Travis Rieder, an academic for Berman Institute of Bioethics at Johns Hopkins University.

"I do think we should at least consider it," said Rieder, who believes that limiting the size of families is paramount to fighting global warming.

"Well, 'at least consider it' is like, 'do it,'" Nye stated.

One might wonder what exactly is meant by an "extra kid"?

The type of penalization Nye is talking about is likely the financial kind that "taxes" extra kids in the name of saving the environment.

This is not the first time the idea of penalizing "extra kids" has been proposed by those in the environmental movement.

In a keynote speech at Planned Parenthood last year, radical feminist Gloria Steinem somehow succeeded in linking abortion with climate change in a way that is both anti-human and deeply disturbing.

According to Steinem, "Forced childbirth is the single biggest cause of global warming". For Steinem, not only is protecting the right of a woman's unborn fetus now a "forced childbirth", but it is the single greatest catalyst for global warming. 

Her logic is simple, and chilling in its implications: people produce carbon, thus more people will bring greater carbon emissions while fewer people will bring lower carbon emissions. 

Yet Steinem is far from the only radical liberal to equate traditional morality, and even human life, with destruction of the planet.

Extreme environmentalists like Steinem and Rieder would use the power of government to tax having children as a form of population control. 

The more money a parent has, the higher the tax, because the greater the children's carbon footprint will be, or so they try to reason. 

Thus the family itself has become a sin for which we must pay in progressive carbon taxes that increase according to one's income. So goes the liberal agenda.
