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.” According to
an article on the website Campus Reform, Professor Warren suggested that
the average child adds the carbon equivalent of 2,700 round-trip flights
from Seattle to Europe to their parent’s 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 Professor Warren’s logic, it all
goes back to Adam and Eve. Their original sin was giving birth. God is ultimately
to blame, then. His command to “Go forth and multiply,” was, in retrospect, a
terrible mistake. Adam and Eve took Him (or Her?) 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.” (Is global warming
self-correcting?).
Alright, men, do your duty. Go
get a vasectomy. Looks like a “carbon legacy” will be the only
legacy you are allowed to leave. And keep that one to a minimum, won’t
you?
