Environ-mentals

I recently read an article about women who were getting themselves sterilized to help save the environment. Apparently children have a huge carbon footprint and it is selfish to have children when the world is dying. One of these women even went so far as to have an abortion to prevent the life within her from damaging the environment. Apparently the fact that the human race would cease to exist without children doesn't faze them. The way this story was written and the way these women talked about their decisions, they believed they were saving the planet. In my view though, they are cowards. How easy it is to exterminate somebody else's life for your cause, but I notice that neither one of these women was willing to become a martyr for their cause and commit suicide.

Now don't get me wrong, sterilization is the best idea I have seen out of these environmental wacko's. In fact, I think we should start a website for them to help them all accomplish this task by spreading the word. The less they reproduce, the better for the rest of us.
It always amazes me how environmentalists (and by environmentalists, I mean the socialists who think the environment trumps human life in every instance) make excuses for their own carbon footprints - for instance the woman who had an abortion excuses her international travel once a year because she didn't have a child. In other words, she can pollute a little more because she doesn't have a child with a big carbon footprint (contrast this with someone who really thinks the environment is in danger and refuses to add to the carbon footprint more than is necessary for survival).

And then there is Al Gore. His house uses 20 times the amount of energy that the average American household uses. He flies around the country in a private jet (way more than the average American flies) and then lectures the rest of us about our carbon footprints. Oh, but don't forget that he buys carbon credits - what a scam that is: a corporation doesn't reach their cap on pollution, so they sell what is left of their pollution limit to someone else, so they can pollute instead. So instead of being happy that they didn't pollute their limit, they make money by making sure they hit that cap. Oh, but don't forget, Al Gore owns one of these carbon credit programs too. So he flies around polluting and buys permission to pollute from himself, and then touts to people that they should do the same - so he can become richer. And Al Gore says (like a good little communist) that you cannot disagree with him - he is right and everyone who disagrees is wrong. Now global warming is occurring but I don't think warming by 1.5 degrees in the last 100 years is a catasrophe waiting to happen and just 16 years ago I heard the earth would cease to exist in 10 years if we didn't do something. Guess that was wrong too.
