It’s all fine and good for John Kerry to utter a fundamental truth about a major driver of climate catastrophe, but it is a useless proclamation without offering a solution.

Have enough tipping points been breached that there are no prescriptions to offer?

    Alarmist headlines frame population declines in certain countries as a “demographic timebomb.” Governments respond with pronatalist incentives for large families and/or laws restricting abortion and contraceptives.

    Hey, just want to throw out there that discussing abortion rights in the same breath you are talking about global population control probably isn’t the greatest of ideas.

      Has anyone mentioned immigration? What about welfare? Removing those would help a great deal. So would my personal favorite solution, which is putting wolf habitats in the middle of cities so that they eat the weak.

        I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. It’s clearly satire, folks. I especially like the part about wolves. Can we do that?

    Lmao, if you alarmists were right, the planet would already be dead, and Planet wouldn’t be able to sustain any life. That’s the bottom line.

    I’ve been alive long enough to remember that you’ve changed the name and cause of your alarmism 3 different times, and said that the world was going to end 3 different times since I was little, and you’ve been wrong all 3 now… 4 times. 😂🤣 There is NO science to what you do. Nothing. I’m older than most if not all of you in this thread. So don’t argue. Stop lying to the world. Cause We’re all laughing at you.

      How delightfully and intellectually astute of you to play the age card. I am cowed to submission by your ancient prowess.
