Birth equity and climate reparations will be a global disaster

Apparently, overpopulation caused the Climate Crisis, and Climate Reparations must be extracted from developed countries and given carte blanche to other countries, as forced indulgences for the developed countries’ Climate Sins.

So … *Socialism* and *Reparations* are now supposed to fix the dreaded Climate Crisis Apocalypse ?

This Socialist screed below will be a global disaster if actually implemented.

There is so much insanity in this article, I bulleted a few of the crazier points.

=============================

“… The Case for Birth Equity and Reparations

Addressing climate change requires fundamentally rethinking how we bring new humans into the world.

The climate crisis is rooted in treating future generations as means rather than ends.

Society views children as future workers, consumers, and taxpayers, not empowered citizens with a voice in their democracies.

Most claims of sustainable, green, and humane activities are misleading, creating a false sense of progress.

To effectively address the climate crisis, we must consider how we bring children into the world, ensuring every child has an equal chance at a healthy and sustainable future.

This is why groups like the Fair Start Organization call on the United Nations to honor its obligation to ensure all children are born and raised in conditions consistent with the Children’s Rights Convention, which
● functionally requires climate restoration via birth equity family planning entitlements.

● This process involves baseline compensation, taking wealth from those who imposed environmental costs on others without first ensuring birth equity.

The world is in crisis because the wealthy elite never paid the actual costs of their wealth, imposing burdens on the environment and current and future generations of humans and all species.

● A specific legal process is pending before the United Nations, calling for every child’s right to a fair start in life to be the first and overriding human right.

● This would authorize climate reparations to future generations, proportionally limiting property rights based on various metrics.

● Utilizing wealth obtained by ending the fossil fuel industry could fund family planning reforms, ensuring all future children are born and raised in conditions that protect them from future challenges. …”
