Your carbon bootprint is probably a size 20 by now. In case you didn't know
(I suspect you do but don't care), a modern airliner produces the same amount
of CO2 *per passenger* as a small car driven the same distance. In the last
month you've probably travelled 20,000 miles so you've helped produce the same
amount of pollution in that time as my car did in 18 months. Congratulations.

Ah, Boltar, the eco-warrier!

I'm not lentil munching hippy, but I do my bit. You clearly don't give a toss
but then you've probably only got a few decades left anyway and apparently have
no offspring so why would you.

Depends on what route you want to argue the planet should be saved
for, the majority of living things that form a stable eco system or
one where human beings exist in ever increasing numbers and gradually
destroy everything by the demands placed on resources.

If couples only had a maximum of 2 kids we wouldn't have a spiralling world
population, in fact it would come down a bit. Unfortunately religion and
stupidity generally lead to many cultures having far more and its not helped
when a one child policies as implemented in China are accused of being anti-
feminist or anti-woman or anti-child or some such ******** by clueless
campaigners.

Those who have not bred can claim that some of the resources that they
may using for a generous life style are those that would have been
used by subsequent generations of descendants and by not creating any
they can use a bit more themselves but overall the use of resources
will be a lot less than would have been used by an ever expanding
line of descendants.

Unfortunately the resources their theoretical descendents may or may not have
used in the future are largely irrelevant if the climate predictions are to
be believed. Its what these people are using now that matters.

I can't really argue with you there, assuming one coupling per person.

Also true, though I don't think we can blame the need for a tram line on
that (Cambridge not being noted as a hotbed of stupidity).

and its not helped

On that point, I have to disagree with our potato-based correspondent.

In developing countries you need as many children as possible in order to be
sure to be looked after in old age, because the state surely doesn't do it

Many tribal peoples have a stable populations and care for the elderly as
a group. Its entirely dependant on culture.

You seem to have mis-spelt "education, income, child mortality and
availability of contraception".

If the population is rising then clearly the extra kids are not simply to
cover for child mortality, you don't need to be educated to understand if you
have a limited food supply you can't support too many children, ditto income
and the best form of contraception is to keep your trousers on.

Stop making excuses for these people, they're not some sort of witless missing
link whose behaviour is instinct based.
