Treating human beings as little more than carbon
As the Copenhagen summit starts, the rise of eco-Malthusianism shows the anti-human, future-fearing essence of climate-change alarmism.

Below a picture of 12 black babies, the caption warns: ‘Babies in Dakar, Senegal.’ Then, with a literary sigh of relief, the subtitle to the caption points out that a ‘cost analysis commissioned by [the Optimum Population Trust] claims that family planning is the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions’ (1). In other words, the destructiveness of such babies, these carbon emitters, can be counteracted if we prevent them from being born in the first place.
The odious Optimum Population Trust (OPT) is a zombie-like Malthusian organisation devoted to the cause of human depletion. Looking at the article by John Vidal in the Guardian, which contained that photo of 12 black babies and reported on the OPT’s new initiative inviting people in the West to offset their CO2 emissions by sponsoring ‘family planning’ in the developing world, I am not sure what I found most shocking: the message conveyed through the photograph, or the absence of any anger over the OPT and its supporters’ casual devaluation of human life.

It didn’t take long for crypto-eugenics to rear it’s racist ugly head. Using synthesized climate panic as a guise to push forth a long planned agenda. It’s interesting that those who casually advocate genocide disguised as ‘family planning’ never recommend this for so-called developed countries or their particular strata of community. What it does expose is the transparently and now overtly racialist face of the climatist mission. How laughable to attack the very peoples whom consume the least resources. A thoroughly disgusting proposition that should be repellant to any with any vestiges of their humanity intact.
