Social Engineering Redux

I heard this on BBC World this morning and nearly shat myself: Put carbon tax on babies: academic says.

Does this smack of failed social engineering projects of the last century or what? It is very thinly veiled attempt to force human civilization into a box of robotic obedience to crackpot theories. It is a truly dystopian future that looms ahead if we are going to seriously put ecological well being ahead of human existence.

It is the latest in a string of theoretical nonsense that seeks to manage the relationaship between population and consumption of resources. It is also frequently the realm of science fiction.

"The seeds of the Little War were planted in a restless summer during the mid-1960s, with sit-ins and student demonstrations as youth tested its strength. By the early 1970s over 75 percent of the people living on Earth were under 21 years of age. The population continued to climb — and with it the youth percentage.
In the 1980s the figure was 79.7 percent.
In the 1990s, 82.4 percent.
In the year 2000 — critical mass."

It is Last Day!
