    If you are well read on the global warming issue it is common knowledge. If not then read "The Climate Fix" and "Smart Solutions to Climate Change".

    What amount of carbon tax do the 73% recommend and what will be the reduction in the rate of global warming 100 years from now if that rate is implemented globally ??

    Millions will die if nothing is done and that is a fact. You seem to care nothing for human life just your pocket.

    The main problem with this philosophy is that only intelligent people will read this and choose to follow the advice. As the IQ in the western world, particularly America, is in freefall, this article is promoting that portion of the public with high IQ to not reproduce. Meanwhile, that portion of the population with low IQ, won't read any academic dissertations, won't care, and will reproduce unchecked, even encouraged to through free money from the government.

    http://www.npr.org/2016/08/18/479349760/should-we-be-having-kids-in-the-age-of-climate-change

    This professor of Bioethics, is basically targeting his own for genocide through promoting this 'morality through not having kids'. Ugh.

    Happy to show that when you can tell me the exact date that CO2 was higher than today

    Well it sure ain't here. We have had a hotter than normal summer. We have had very little rain. Farmers are selling off livestock due to lack of grass. Where is the benefit in higher temperature? What economic benefit is selling cattle at a loss?

    More nothing from the resident alarmists.

    More confusion of climate variation with global warming from the resident alarmists.

    That post was for the people that say warmer temps bring more rain. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. It has been a warmer than normal summer with much less rain. So warmer temps do not bring more rain.

    Climate variability - do some homework. And the answer is "not necessarily".

    Climate change....do some homework. You need an education. Climate change is well supported by science. Your position is well supported by propaganda.

    My posts are supported by actual data. You still are unable to understand the difference between climate variability and global warming. Climate variability is so much larger than the rate of global warming that it takes 20 - 30 years to determine if the climate is changing. As a student of climate change I'm sure you know that ??

    The only thing irrelevant is your attempt to change the subject of the thread from your having babies that have five times the C02 footprint of a third world baby as you preach end of the world AGW dogma. Nice try but I won't take the bait. How many kids do you have or intend to have warmer boy?

    And once again a caveat, not just scientist but only those scientist that "study climate". AKA big government grant money seeking AGW proponent pseudo scientist who have been caught manipulating data to get the desired outcome

    All well and good but if you truly believe the AGW dogma and we are on the verge of destroying mankind with warming why would you want to have kids anyway especially if having them will hasten the day of doom

    I do not disagree, reducing the population would help, but I honestly do not see that happening

    - - - Updated - - -

    true that as well... it's not easy for sure

    sadly also true

    LOL! You have got to be kidding.

    I responded in detail to your OP in my first post in this thread, directly addressing the babies angle.

    In YOUR response to that post, YOU ignored everything but my statement that a carbon tax is a conservative approach.

    YOU changed the subject, not me.

    And now that you have been schooled on that subject, you want to drop it by accusing me of changing the subject.

    Too funny.

    Yes I nibbled at the bait, my mistake but I spit out the hook. Now once again how many kids do you have or want to have?
