Think. The west has some of the LOWEST birth rates in the world. Besides, the West is soon going to be usurped from its throne. Learn some Mandarin and some Farsi while you can. The Eastern world's birth rate is exploding and more people equals more power. Ok, not entirely true, I mean a lot of African families have 20 kids, and theyre not rising to power. But Africa is also extremely poor in many areas and is not self sustaining. Russia, China, and much of the middle East have the natural and economic resources (and some cool Cold War toys) to take over as global powers very soon. Controlled birth rates for the west? BAD idea. Back to the original topic, I just thought I'd note that Estevan was chosen as the cite for the world's first zero-emissions pulverized-coal power generating plant. So we are taking steps in the right direction. Stop. Think. The west has some of the LOWEST birth rates in the world. Besides, the West is soon going to be usurped from its throne.

We use more resources per capita, but if certain countries in the East could defeat us without destroying themselves in the process, they'd be the ones consuming more than their fair share. What people in the West consider a comfortable middle class lifestyle, is simply not sustainable if we let close to 6 billion people to the same table we're chowing down at. It's pretty much common sense that either we need to increase the availability of resources [not possible without technological breakthroughs], reduce population through some humane means of population control (not genocide), and/or accept that we can't have it all like we do right now.

It is about having the right to choose, and is not pro-death. The problem is not about over population of the planet, but more about a small minority of the human species who sucks up most of the global resources and energy. That's right, it is Westerners such as us. Population control should be mandated for the West. Now that would slow global warming. And what is pro-choice about?
