New York Times: Give Carbon Credits to Couples That Limit Themselves to One Child

- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Andrew Revkin, who reports on environmental issues for The New York Times, floated an idea last week for combating global warming: Give carbon credits to couples that limit themselves to having one child.
Revkin later told CNSNews.com that he was not endorsing the idea, just trying to provoke some thinking on the topic.
Revkin participated via Web camera in an Oct. 14 panel discussion on “Covering Climate: What’s Population Got to Do With It” that was held at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. The other participants on the panel were Dennis Dimick, executive editor of National Geographic, and Emily Douglas, web editor for The Nation magazine.

Andrew C. Revkin
Environment Reporter, The New York Times……….
“Mr. Revkin occasionally writes about pop music, and a 1997 Times profile of a heavy-metal singer was the basis for “Rock Star,” a September 2001 release starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston.
He has a biology degree from Brown University and a masters in journalism from Columbia. He lives in the Hudson River Valley with his wife and two sons. Mr. Revkin is also a songwriter and guitarist, occasionally accompanying Pete Seeger at regional festivals. ”

well a 1000 architects and engineers isn’t enough to open up a new 9/11 investigation. But one little 6 year old boy saying “we did it for the show” is enough for the police to throw charges of conspiracy against a family for releasing a balloon into the air! OMG, its a conspiracy!!!

Don’t they teach kids in grade school anymore that plants breathe CO2? So why is creating breathable air for plants so bad? Ever notice how well people and plants do together in a closed house in winter? It does wonders for the air quality. There is a give take relationship between plants and people. There is no need to change anything. The world was built by God to perfectly work in harmony without the need for us to interfere or second guess our reproduction, be fruitful and replenish the earth. All we need to do is get big NWO corporations to stop making GMO foods, stop chem-trailing us, stop poisoning our water supplies, and stop creating false conflicts to keep us in global crisis.

Indeed. With 40 years of planetary cooling to look forward to, due to a cylce the sun is now in, we may be better served by producing all the CO2 we can. CO2 is good for plants, and plants are good for us. For all we know, we might be better off with more, not less.
I do however believe in eliminating toxic pollutants and in keeping a clean, healthy environment. I also believe in conserving natural resources, and keeping our footprint small, as a matter of general principle, not because I fear global warming or cooling.

Obviously the NWO will exempt all illegals- they can have as many anchor babies as they want so the uneducated illiterate new citizen will just say yes to anything their masters dish out. Another thing, if they want to limit the number of children born, who is going to pay the social security of an aging populace? Oh, I forgot, they are going to kill all the old people so they won’t have to worry about that pesky social security stuff. Hey, I,ve got a better idea, since the NWO crowd has these brilliant ideas let them be first to exercise the reduction of the population and off themselves. Oh, don’t want to volunteer? Well, I am sure glad you earth worshipping satanists protected all those trees – perhaps they will prove extremely useful.

Obviously you don’t when you espouse their views. I think people should have as many kids as they want and can support. Over time this builds a nation of strong families which is what we need. Not all these single people, and barren selfish couples who treat their dogs like kids and have no empathy compassion or moral compass. Who would rather spend their money on big screen TVs and vacations than share in the love and beauty of raising children. I’m a single guy and I say this because I see kids and I can’t wait to have a few. There should be no government intervention. Eliminate welfare and people will naturally have only as many as they can reasonably handle. Its as simple as that. You’ve been brainwashed to think kids are bad because you see nothing on the news and media but people like octomom who abuse the system and use the govt to support them.

Exuse me? But ‘barren, selfish’ couples? Some of us don’t want children. As much as I agree with everything else you’ve said, there is nothing wrong with NOT having children. It is a choice, and some of us choose no. I’m female, and lack a motherly instinct, and I was lucky enough to find a man that feels the same way I do, that I can share my life with. Have as many as you want, but stop judging people that choose to remain child-free.

It is not the government’s place to limit US, especially regarding OUR children. It is the government’s place to be limited BY us, AND our children, and their children.

f--- their “carbon credits.” This is all based on a lie; i.e., that carbon dioxide causes “global warming.” In the first place, carbon dioxide doesn’t cause atmospheric warming. It builds up in RESPONSE to atmospheric warming. Secondly, we’ve been in a cooling cycle since 1997 and this expected to continue for another 30 years. Third, there have been periods in the past in which it was far warmer than it has been in recent decades, and there have been cooling periods, as well. The earth’s climate changes are cyclical and occur due to natural causes that have been occurring since long before any humans walked the earth. In the middle ages, it was warmer than it is now and this was centuries prior to the industrial revolution.
“Carbon credits” and the “carbon tax” are simply a means of bankrupting western society and imposing harsh controls over us all.

Hey NWO bring on the free energy:
goto t=1:47:15 in this video for introduction to new energy science
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oURVtGKW420
If we all have a free electricity box The NWO will be put in it’s place.
It will no longer have as much power to steal you money. They will have to do something USEFULL to earn a living, rather than collecting taxes to give to cronies.
Much of the free energy science is hidden under cover of the national security act (or security oath to the queen in other countries) This free energy is going to kill the criminal global energy oligarchy. It is also going to make Wall Street eat Alpo. The new science is going to set us free from demons like Al Gore, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, CIA, SAS and Mossad. These demons are the enemy of free enterprise and the national security act is a fraud. If they didn’t have an enemy that would invent one though false flag fraud. These demons are dangerous to humanity and planet Earth. They love war, destruction and death and have proven it over and over again — like a broken record.
Beware of the Werewolf : he is a Trickster and a Beast
Please take the wool out of your eyes and be aware of the coming free energy, but don’t take it for granted. Have something to say for it and a place in your heart to believe in it — so that it may arrive sooner — to help end human suffering ( unless you enjoy human suffering
The Fed is a cover for false money and false shares of equity — Grand theft continental
The National security act is a cover for false flag — Grand deception convention
They must continue to expand the lie in order to steal your worth. Until you say “NO” no more, you are their willing slave.

“Covering Climate: What’s Population Got to Do With It” that was held at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.”
The fact that they held this kind of discussion at the ‘Woodrow Wilson Center’ is very fitting. I knew and stated they would use ‘global warming’ lies to try to sell a one child policy. I stand up and say f--- you to those people who would perpetuate this stupid idea based on false information. WHERE THE f--- DO YOU THINK WE ARE, CHINA? Do no entertain this idea, it’s wrong and immoral. Who is the government (or the people in control of gov’t) to tell a couple they can not have more than one child? If their happiness depends on having more than one child then they should be able to do it. Are there stupid teenagers who get pregnant multiples times and have next to midly retarded children…sure, are there bad parents who can not afford to take care of children they already have, but yet decide to pop out a few more anyway…. sure.
However these are not reasons for one child policies, and forced steralizations. There will always be stupid people, that is a fact. However, stupid people should not be reason enough to make policies that interfere with responsible people’s lives. What’s next no more pretzels because a dumbass tried to swallow it without chewing? Enough about ex-president Bush… honestly what’s next? Sure this is just one guy who may or may not look like bob saget spewing out stupid s--- but it let’s you see where some people’s minds our, and it’s sickening.

During the few decades I’ve lived on this planet, I’ve noticed the climate hasn’t changed one bit. Some years are colder. Some years are warmer. Some years there’s more rain and snow. Some years there’s less rain and snow. Sometimes the weather seems weird, but it’s extremely rare for something out of the ordinary to happen. It’s not like the aurora borealis is shining down in Dallas, you know? So, I’m pretty sure the whole issue of climate change is sheer bollox.

That is why they felt so emboldened as to pull off the greatest fraud and theft of a populace in world history. They are uping the anty again – now they want to take your right to a legacy, to family, to life itself. Are you mad enough yet, America? And to top it off they want to execute your demise using your own money. Are you that stupid, America?

October 20th, 2009 at 4:38 am
to Steve: let me educate you about some stuff, Steve.
1. Scientists have done experiments blowing C02 on corn and guess what, the corn was NOT able to absorb the extra C02. Surprise surprise, but there is actually a limit to how much C02 plants will absorb. What a shock, eh? So extra C02 doesn’t have anyplace to go but into the atmosphere.
2. After trees die, they begin to release C02 that they have absorbed. So dead plants release C02. What a shock too, eh? Only live plants utilize C02 and only at the amount they need it.
3rd, I live in Southeastern Europe in Bulgaria, and I dont know about any global cooling. As a matter of fact we had record temperatures this summer and we have been having them for 3-7 years now. So yes global warming is real. I am experiencing it. I talk to Brits who live here now and they tell me the climate in UK has changed too, now instead of snow they have mostly rain in Scotland for example. The climate in Germany has changed too. Climates are changing all over I just dont understand how people will not admit it. The only question is WHY they wont admit it?
October 20th, 2009 at 6:28 am
“Climates are changing all over I just dont understand how people will not admit it.”
If you look into the history of the earth you will see that the earth cycles through periods of warming and cooling, and it absolutely does not correspond only to CO2 levels. To take that stance is to be accepting a falsified and dumbed-down explaination for the warming and cooling cycles. Yes the climate can warm, and cool… depending on which cycle the earth is going through, this is earth’s way of balancing itself out.
However to ascribe it to man entirely is idiocy. So now I will refer to the part where you ask, why wont they admit it. I just answered your question, now I expect you to answer a redefined version of your own question: Why wont you who are accepting the ‘man-made’ lie about global warming admit it is only a ploy to embezzle/extort money and to consolidate all countries under one ruling body…with all the evidence why wont you just admit it already? What evidence well in december the UN will expect Obama to sign a treaty… lately everyone knows where to find that at and what that’s about. So let me refer you to this document from ‘the world bank’
“Adapting to Climate Change to Cost US$75-100 Billion a year New global estimate for cost of adaptation to climate change in developing countries Bangkok/Washington, September 30 2009 – The costs of adaptation to climate change in developing countries will be in the order of US$75-100 billion per year for the period 2010 to 2050 according to preliminary findings in a new global study from The World Bank.” – Hmmm sounds like a lot of money is involved, and there is a lot to be gained here…. I can’t imagine anyone would just make up lies to gain power or money… nooo couldn’t be.
