Population reduction - government petition

[ActionNow]

Petition to: Lobby the UN to enforce global limits of 1 child per family.

All of the exponentially rising disasterous changes that we see around us right now are merely a symtom of an obvious underlying cause. Us, the homo sapien. Most, if not all of this planets current pending environmental catastrophes are brought about by human greed and overpopulation. Unfortunately, they are part are in the human nature and on our current course I truly believe that we are headed for in the best case scenario Billions of people dying through war, starvation and thirst and at worst, a complete human extinction.

For a more articulate argument than I could ever make on this, please see the BBC article: BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Humanity is the greatest challenge

Individuals, Big businesses and governments all need to take action instead of sleepwalking towards disaster. We need to make thegovernment take action NOW. I have started a government petition to lobby for a one child per family policy. Many would consider this policy facist and cruel, but far more cruel will be the consequences if we do not act. When this petition gets enough votes, it must be reviewed and responded to by the UK government. You are NOT powerless. You CAN make a difference. Please sign the petition today and encourage others to do the same.

I read that BBC article yesterday. It is a refreshingly frank view on the subject, although of all the politically sensitive issues in the world, I think that population control is probably number 1.

I'd have really no idea how we could pragmatically approach this issue bearing in mind all of the sensitivities surrounding it.

Any person of a UN member nation should be able to sign it, but it is limited to just the UK!!!!!! What the bloody heck good is that???
I've believed the world had to go to 1 child families since the 1970s. I had one child at 39 years old, for a breeding rate 1/12 the average hispanic. The rate is a killer, and the numbers show the change would have to be nearly instantaneous. (to prevent mass die-off)

I don't think the UN have a similar petition scheme unfortunately. A shame, because they work really well here in the UK.

The problem with these appeals of course, is that the only women who actually do choose to reduce their birthrates are the smart ones we need to bear the smart children to solve the problems, whereas the stupid airheads pay no attention to the population problem at all, and keep on popping them out.

And in a democratic system, what you end up with is more religious fanatics with every generation electing more demagogues...

How would it be enforced? I can see only one way. Sterilization after first birth...... Only it would be marry hell trying to enforce in the back country. where their are plenty of places to hide...
