Berkeley declares 'climate emergency' worse than World War II, demands 'humane' population control |
2018-06-15 |
[FOX] 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. A similar effort is necessary today to confront an even greater threat, according to the document. "[W]e can rise to the challenge of the greatest crisis in history by organizing politically to catalyze a national and global climate emergency effort, employing local workers in a mobilization effort building and installing renewable energy infrastructure," the resolution says. |

#4 Berkeley declares climate emergency worse than WWII? Their answer is population control? Then, let it start with Berkeley. Personally, I'm going with what Trump said. Fake news is our greatest threat. |

#3 Seems to me that killing off all these idiots would be a great start to stabilizing the population and it would be humane to the rest of us not to hear their idiocy anymore. |
