Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat recently wrote: “In terms of carbon emissions that lead to global warming, there’s probably nothing worse we can do on an individual basis than take an intercontinental flight.”
Apparently, he was mistaken. Shortly thereafter, The Times published University of Washington Professor Emeritus Stephen Warren’s reply to Mr. Westneat: “Actually, there is something worse. Having a child.”
Professor Warren suggested that average children add the carbon equivalent of 2,700 round-trip flights from Seattle to Europe to their parents’ “birth carbon legacy.”
He continued: “By choosing to reproduce, you’re responsible for some fraction of the carbon-dioxide emissions of your children and grandchildren, and all their descendants. This is your ‘carbon legacy.’”
No wonder why the Democrats are so “pro-abortion.”
By Warren’s logic, it all goes back to “Adam and Eve.” Their original “sin” was giving birth. God is ultimately to “blame” for this sin.
His command to “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:26-28 (NIV) was, in retrospect, a terrible “mistake.”
Adam and Eve took God “literally.” By the time they left the “Garden of Eden” they had spawned four generations numbering 1,647 descendants. They must have “hated” the Earth.
The “good news” is that researchers at Stanford University and the University of California-Berkeley, in a recent study published in the journal “Nature Climate Change” predicted that global warming will boost suicide rates worldwide.
Yay!! Down goes our carbon footprint!
The study’s lead author, Marshall Burke, told Berkeley News that researchers “found very strong evidence that abnormally hot weather increases both suicide rates and the use of depressive language on social media,” which indicates global warming is self-correcting.
Alright, men, do your duty. Go get a “vasectomy” or “kill yourself” whichever comes first.
Looks like “your carbon legacy” will be the only legacy you are “allowed to leave.”
