Say, will the City of Berkeley give up their own use of fossil fuels for city business? How about the council members who approved of this?
Berkeley declares ‘climate emergency’ worse than World War II, demands ‘humane’ population control
The Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night declared what it called a “climate emergency” with more global significance than World War II, and demanded an immediate effort to “humanely stabilize population” and “reverse ecological overshoot.”
The resolution, which invokes the global conflict between the Axis and Allies, charges that Americans bear an “extraordinary responsibility to solve the crises” facing the environment.
“[D]uring World War II, the Bay Area came together across race, age, class, gender and other differences in an extraordinary regional mobilization, building and repairing Liberty ships, converting car assembly plants into tank manufacturing facilities,” the resolution reads. (snip)
But according to the Berkeley City Council, another thinning of the herd might be needed.
The resolution notes that “reversing ecological overshoot and halting the sixth mass extinction requires an effort to preserve and restore half Earth’s biodiversity in interconnected wildlife corridors and to humanely stabilize population.”
Will the city council kill off a sizable chunk of the Berkeley population? They’d have to do it in a diverse manner, of course. Will it be a lottery? A race to the finish? Those who can’t burn an American flag in 5 minutes or less get whacked? If you don’t own a Che or Mao shirt you’re gassed and composted?
Also, the resolution states that “residents should avoid “consumerism” and “narcissism.”” Unsurprising that they’re against capitalism. Will the city council ban retail stores? How about supermarkets?
Simply deporting those in the country illegally would significantly reduce the population…local landscaping and nanny industries hardest hit.
Humane population control? All for it, require sterilization for anyone receiving section 8 housing, welfare, taxpayer paid birth or abortion, or spending more than 2 years in prison, etc etc etc.
Eliminate those capitalists at Whole Foods and Sprouts.
