Eugenics Is the Green Policy

Over at the Financial Post, Diane Francis makes the case for a "planetary law" of adopting China's one child only  policy. Says Diane:

A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days. The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity soaring reproduction rate.

Our population is indeed growing rapidly. There is no doubt about that. But what is to say that as humans we cannot adapt? Today, we grow more food than ever due to innovations in agriculture. Had we stuck to solely "green methods" like organic growing and food localism, our world would be a much hungrier place. The Middle East, a literal desert, has seen increased access to water through desalination plants. Farmland, through use of fertilizers, has become increasing arable. Unless of course, there is communal land ownership, aka government ownership. Man's greenhouse gas emissions have been accounted for, but the debate over its significance and contribution towards climate change is still far from being settled, contrary to what they want you to believe.
