Daily Caller: Former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post calling for more programs to “stabilize” world population to fight global warming.
Podesta argues “family planning” — code for access to abortion and contraceptives — would “do a world of good for the planet, which is bearing an environmental burden because of population growth.”
“Population projection experts estimate a worst-case scenario in which we grow by 70 percent and reach a population of 13 billion people by the end of the century,” Podesta wrote in an op-ed co-authored with former Colorado Democratic Sen. Tim Wirth.
“But if we continue to invest in sensible international family-planning programs and accept the challenge of meeting the needs of women and families, we could potentially stabilize the population at below 10 billion,” wrote Podesta and Wirth.
It’s not a new argument. For decades, catastrophists have argued global population growth would swamp the Earth’s ability to support human life. Stanford University Prof. Paul Ehrlich popularized the argument in his 1968 book “The Population Bomb.”
Ehrlich warned of mass starvation in the 1970s and ’80s due to population growth, and called for policies to limit population growth. Now, Podesta is applying that same logic to stopping man-made global warming.
“In fact, family planning ranks as one of the 10 most substantive solutions to climate change, according to a recent analysis of peer-reviewed research,” wrote Podesta and Wirth. “In addition to being cost-effective from an emissions reduction perspective, the co-benefits to women and families across the globe are enormous.” read more
IT’S IRONIC THAT PODESTA WOULD TALK ABOUT STABILIZING ANYTHING!!!
hey John Boy … preach it to China … let me know how it works out
bye now … off with you …
A reprehensible initiative. But if we must, all politicians die first.
Wait…Wouldn’t Global Warming stabilize the population without any special effort by the spirit cookers?
Oh Lord, I wish his mother had believed in abortion.
Well someone better talk to the Muzzies cause their plan for world domination is to out breed us.
And why is John’s brother Tony still not indicted?
If Europe had this policy half the EU wouldn’t now have Mohammad as the most popular baby name.
Muslims breed like rabbits. Is Podesta fixing to lecture them?
Hey Johnny, it’s global cooling now. Didn’t you get the memo?
Turn men into gay whimps?
Why do people consider communists credible?
OLD AND RACIST: Build the wall to keep out illegal immigrants.
NEW AND PROGRESS: Build the wall to keep out illegal immigrants to stabilize the U.S. population and prevent global warming.
OK smot guy. Let’s start with guys like you and your followers showing us how it’s done.

OUT! OUT, YOU UNCLEAN LOGIC!
Which is better ? Playing dominos on cheese,or on pasta?
Tell ya what, let’s stabilize him and then we can have a discussion.
FFS… Will someone just kill that child raping, Seth Rich murdering, psycho piece of shit Podesta already?
Gavin McGinness has the correct solution: More Western babies!
Wars, family planning, contraception and abortion haven’t gotten the job done.
Flood Europe with islamic fanatics and the problem will be solved within a generation.
Either the surviving European population will rise up and exterminate the islamic disease or they will be be annihilated.
Problem solved.
It’s really quite simple. Feminism is keeping females and males apart. Then when the feminist realizes that what she actually wants is a male “provider”, she is already too late to reproduce. This elongated age of childhood has creeped to 50 years!
What Podesta, along with Malthus and Erlich, really mean is that “there are too many brown people.” So far, Podesta is in the running to win the Margaret Sanger Trophy for Racism in Action.
Has Paul Ehrlich ever been right about anything?
Let’s start with you and you and your family first, jerk. You are one evil worthless SOB. Why do they take cruds like this POS seriously? And take the Clintons, obummers, Kennedy’s and all the rest of the hoity toity, snooty elites with you led by George Soros the biggest POS of all. All of us deplorables will thank you.
Podesta is an evil SOB
I can never understand why these people are not offing themselves along with a note stating how they are saving the world.
I predict that the world will run out of non-fat mocha lattes and reduced fat blueberry muffins by the year 2025 unless urban soccer moms are banned by the World Court. Sure, this is a silly prediction, but doom and gloom sells.
If you look carefully you can see his antennae on the back of his head. He’s never fully recovered after My Favorite Martian was cancelled.
Soooo … the ONLY way to prevent certain, inarguable, mathematically-precise, annihilation of the species is to … ANNIHILATE THE SPECIES?
Sort of like: “We had to destroy the village in order to save it?”
Or is it implied that the annihilation is selective?
Haven’t we read about this before? Selections made for the good of GrossDeutschland and Europe, in general? Now in the United States?
Hmmm.
izlamo delenda est …
They don’t care about the species. They want to destroy the more “undesirable” wrong-thinking members of our species to “save the planet.”
They fewer of us, the more control they have.
