It is a pretty common cause celibe for green types to proudly and loudly state that they will help stop the coming environmental disasters by simply not having children. They rightly point out that the planet is already profoundly overpopulated and there needs to be a reduction in the human population. However, the DIY population control is inherently a flawed, short sighted and narcissistic method for green revolution.A couple who hold to green views and who have no children may infinitesimally, lessen the pollution in the first world, but this does absolutely nothing to stop the massive population explosion in the third world, the gargantuan carbon dioxide pollution caused by massive international corporations and the systematic destruction of China and Brazil's environments.More than anything these environmentalists are engaging in wishful thinking and mental masturbation. Not having children will not stop the ecological disaster, but it will make a rich first world person feel good about themselves while they undoubtedly will continue to take multiple vacations a year, use a gas guzzling car and blast the air conditioning every time the temperature goes above 75 degrees. If they engage in any kind of political activity it will be the same old stupid red vs. blue wedge issues crap which has eaten up all political activity in the US over the previous decades. Deep Green Resistance for example, often considered the most radical environmentalist group, is more likely to post screeds ranting about how all men are secretly planning on raping women rather then dealing the impeding disaster which will kill ALL MEN AND WOMEN PERIOD.Environmentalists need to have children, and lots of them. You may increase pollution in the short term, but imagine raising four or five green warriors, who will understand the threat that humanity is facing, and will dedicate their lives to fighting the planet killing disaster coming.Focus on saving the planet, create young one who unlike their parents generation, will love and protect nature.
