Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Every 4 spent on family planning over the next four decades would reduce global CO2 emissions by more than a ton, whereas a minimum of 19 would have to be spent on low-carbon technologies to achieve the same result, the research says.

The report, Fewer Emitter, Lower Emissions, Less Cost, concludes that family planning should be seen as one of the primary methods of emissions reduction. The UN estimates that 40 per cent of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended.

Blowjobs would also help a lot.

That's right! Environmentalism has been distilled to its essence here. Humans equal "pollution" hence humans are the enemy.
Yet environmentalists pose as friends of humanity.....liars and true believer useful idiots in partnership.

I wonder if there is a place where people can recycle their "rubber" which is actually latex.

"Save the World and Use a Condom"

.... and lose your soul.

Wow did you ever miss the point.

I think we should have VOD under Obamacare, vasectomies on demand.

Every 4 (pounds) spent on family planning over the next four decades would reduce global CO2 emissions by more than a ton, whereas a minimum of 19 (pounds) would have to be spent on low-carbon technologies to achieve the same result, the research says.


It is simple economics.

UN data suggests that meeting unmet need for family planning would reduce unintended births by 72 per cent, reducing projected world population in 2050 by half a billion to 8.64 million.

That family that has 18 kids and is expecting number 19 is part of the problem. What a pariah they are!

"I think we should have VOD under Obamacare, vasectomies on demand."

Another reason to justify GOP "no" votes.

Sounds good to me.

That's right! Environmentalism has been distilled to its essence here. Humans equal "pollution" hence humans are the enemy.

Humans cause pollution and consume resources. Environmental contamination and shortages of food, water, and energy are the threat to our species. Unchecked population growth exacerbates these problems. Look at China. Their massive population is already consuming more water than is replaced by rainfall. The country is an economic superpower because of massive industrial growth. That same growth is ravaging their environment.

It is irresponsible to bring ever-increasing numbers humans into this world when there ultimately aren't enough resources to sustain them. Even if the carrying capacity is not exceeded, overpopulation can strain economies and reduce the quality of life.

Do you want socialism? Do you want rationing of not just health care, but all resources? That is the end result of a society which demands more food, water, and energy than it can produce.Fewer humans can live in prosperity, whereas an ever-growing legion of them will ultimately be driven to live like animals.

Diablo's disdain for contraception and responsible family planning is understandable. To a religious fanatic, children are a new sets of ears ready to hear their parents' tired old fairy tales. The survival and prosperity of the species is irrelevant to a these morons. Survival of their ideology is paramount.

Just saw Joe Bastardi (man, how would you like to carry that name in High School?) with Accuweather on OReilly last night.

He does something that just never gets picked up by anyone else.. Bastardi just shows a graph of global temps and they're going DOWN, not up, DOWN. That's over the last decade.. global temps are not rising.. a very inconvenient truth..

There is no global warming.. maybe there's global cooling (which is probably worse) but then again.. maybe the planet just heats and cools.. with or without us...

Hard to believe that we have an administration that's prepared to destroy the US economy on the outside chance that humans can cause climate change. But we do.

Diablo, once again you've stooped to the level of......yourself.

So take a deep breath, Zombie (AND be honest). Calm down. Be logical....
If I eat meat or veggies...the WORLD suffers depending on that choice?
If I breathe and exhale carbon dioxide (I can't wait for the admission my breathing is the 'enemy!'), the WORLD suffers?
What are China's CURRENT problems caused by alleged over-population? Not projected-swine flu-global warming yadda-yadda....China's PROVEN and CURRENT problems?
Think that is so 'serious' it should be solved by killing kids in utero at nine-months, Zombie...like China does?

If I eat meat or veggies...the WORLD suffers depending on that choice?

Demand for food is also a demand for the other resources that go into bringing that food from the earth to your mouth. Water (irrigation) and fossil fuels (for harvest, processing, transport, and power generation) are the biggest. Meat consumption also increases demand for animal feed.

If I were to smother someone to death with six billion grains of sand, it would be absurd to pick out one grain and claim that it alone was the murder weapon. An individual's actions, taken alone, are fairly inconsequential. A society's actions are not. Societies are composed of individuals, many of whom share cultural knowledge and similar patterns of behavior. Diablo is not the only idiot out there. There are millions to be concerned about. An individual moron is just someone to ridicule. Enough of them gathered together become a plague on humanity.

What are China's CURRENT problems caused by alleged over-population?

Their current problem is that they will run out of water if consumption is not reduced. Under Diablo's auspicious guidance, the Chinese would wait to take action until they were out of water.

Think that is so 'serious' it should be solved by killing kids in utero at nine-months, Zombie...like China does?

Three to six months would be acceptable. If some superstitious people find that idea distasteful, perhaps they would grace the rest of us with an explanation of why it is not better to simply prevent pregnancy in the first place. Then Jesus wouldn't have to cry for all those poor aborted babies.

I asked: "If I eat meat or veggies...the WORLD suffers depending on that choice?"

I did NOT ask for a manifesto. Just an answer would do.

Diablo, there were four question marks in your post.

You have my answer, Diablo. You'll find several coherent thoughts in there. The next time you try to make a point, you should try to include more of those.

Amateur hour ended at 10. Why the fuck are you still here?

This mental pollution of your creation (regarding killing children in utero) deserves a post of its own, Zombie:

"Three to six months would be acceptable. If some superstitious people find that idea distasteful, perhaps they would grace the rest of us with an explanation of why it is not better to simply prevent pregnancy in the first place. Then Jesus wouldn't have to cry for all those poor aborted babies."

Amazing! Zombie probably calls that "rationalism" without ever having to familiarize himself with that school of thought!

Zombie? Is not screwing a way to prevent pregnancy? Just asking....

I asked: "If I eat meat or veggies...the WORLD suffers depending on that choice?"


Zombie ran.....

"If I breathe and exhale carbon dioxide (I can't wait for the admission my breathing is the 'enemy!'), the WORLD suffers?"

Zombie ran.

Are humans the enemy, zombie????

Are humans the enemy, zombie????

Diablo,
How many people can the earth support?

"I asked: "If I eat meat or veggies...the WORLD suffers depending on that choice?" Zombie ran."

No he didn't. He answered your question directly and intelligently. Reread #15 as often as you need to understand.

I find one of the hardest things to do is to "pull out." In fact, I've not once been able to do that. I have to use a rubber or else we'd be a repeat of the Duggards.

I find one of the hardest things to do is to "pull out

I get yelled at for pulling out(best part for all).Anyway,I have a vasectomy,am I allowed to screw?

Diablo ran?

Is not screwing a way to prevent pregnancy?

Not breathing is also a great way to avoid getting tuberculosis. I hear it's 100% effective.

If you have "unanswered" questions, re-read what I have written in previous posts.

Then think about it... I know this practice must seem foreign to you. The tingling sensation will go away when you get your case of syphilis treated, but that uneasy feeling will linger around until you stop committing yourself to a lifetime of deliberate ignorance.

Are humans the enemy, zombie????

There is no "enemy" beyond ignorance.

The species does face many challenges to its survival. One of those is the species is that the Earth's finite resources cannot sustain the growth of arbitrarily large human populations. What do you not understand about this concept?

Diablo ran?

Tape a string to his ass and that moron would spend two hours chasing his own "tail".

Zombie makes a 'rationalist' answer:

"Then think about it... I know this practice must seem foreign to you. The tingling sensation will go away when you get your case of syphilis treated, but that uneasy feeling will linger around until you stop committing yourself to a lifetime of deliberate ignorance."

And again I ask, zombie: Are humans the enemy? If we breathe and shit, throw out garbage or fart....the earth allegedly (in your sick view) suffers, right?
So HUMANS are the ENEMY in your bizzare 'logic'??
Dude, get treatment!

Environmentalism: "Humans are pollution."
Any evasion is a lie!

And again I ask, zombie: Are humans the enemy?

That question has already been answered twice by earlier posts.

Diablo just keeps yammering for awhile after he's been left behind. It's similar to the involuntary thrashing of a decapitated chicken. Diablo's mindless convulsions just happen to involve a keyboard.

Diablo,
How many people can the earth support?

That was an honest question,there has to be a limit.

Bruce, I don't think that question can be answered. We cannot predict what future technological advances would allow us humans to expand safely on Earth.

Lets take this situation: a future cure for the two deadliest natural killers, heart disease and cancer. How does that affect the world population? Would you be against?

Back on topic, population growth in South America is a disaster and we can thank partly The Vatican for that!

Crisis

Hi Crisis,
Lets find the cure,that would be great.And i want everybody to live long and prosper,including me and mine.
But I don't believe that there is a god that gave all this to us to use and abuse as we see fit.And we have gone forth and multiplied.
I think all the animals and creations have their right to the planet and its not all ours.We can populate the planet and probably survive but I sure don't want to go to heaven and find out god is an american bison,if you know what I mean.
Anyway I was just taking Diablo to task to back up what he said

Save the world? or Save yourselves?

Throw whatever you want to at the earth, it's still going to be here. You and me, we're fucked.

It's always good stuff for the environmentalist movement to get involved in things like this. It never, ever comes across as controlling and manipulative. It never comes across as hypocritical either.

The people most commonly for protecting the reproductive rights of women are for controlling the reproductive rights of humans.

Meanwhile, the super religious will tell us it's their God-given right to "be fruitful and multiply". Yeah, we did that already. Can we try something else?

I am become death, destroyer of threads.
