More confirmation of connection between de-populationists and climate change propaganda BY LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White   OSLO, May 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Hu Tao of China’s State Environmental Protection Administration praised his country’s One Child population control policy for its contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases. The policy, introduced in the early 1980’s, has been condemned by international human rights agencies for including forced abortion, infanticide and sterilization as well as heavy financial and legal penalties for having children.  Speaking last month at a meeting in Oslo on the UN’s Kyoto Protocol, Hu claimed that the coercive abortion and sterilization policy has had the side effect of slowing “global warming” by limiting the population to 1.3 billion. “This has reduced greenhouse gas emissions,” he said.   China’s One Child policy has been identified as the cause of a looming demographic crisis in which, given the cultural preference for boys, too few girls are being allowed to live to birth to maintain a gender balance in the population. Demographers predict that there will be 40 million unmarried men in China by 2020 and the situation is already creating a dramatic rise in prostitution and the buying and selling of women.  The close connection between the environmental lobby and the population control and international abortion movement is well established.   In 1968 Paul R. Erlich, a renowned entomologist specializing in butterflies, published the book the Population Bomb that posited a connection between environmental degradation and overpopulation. Ehrlich went on to found the lobby group Zero Population Growth (ZPG) in 1968, that was instrumental in bringing about changes in US law to make contraception and abortion legal and widely available.   Although Erlich’s predictions of worldwide famine and environmental disaster have repeatedly failed to materialize, the claims of ZPG, now called the Population Connection, continue to guide international policy.   The group claims credit, along with the abortion lobby groups National Organization for Women and Planned Parenthood of America, and the American Civil Liberties Union, and the U.S. Supreme Court for helping to establish an international movement to decrease human population, particularly in the developing world.  Slavery, Prostitution Effect of China’s One-Child Policy  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/mar/04030908.html  Czech President: "Religion" of Environmentalism a way of "masterminding human society from above"  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/mar/07031206.html  Healthy Skepticism of Global Warming Alarmism Recommended  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/dec/06122209.html  300 Million US Population in Light of Kyoto, Global Warming and Other Created Hysterias  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/oct/06102301.html  Evangelical Leaders Warn Against Christian Involvement in “Climate Change” Hysteria  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/mar/07030208.html  Former Vice President Al Gore Makes Star Debut in Toronto as Global Warming Prophet  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/feb/07022204.html  For the Sake of the Planet?  http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/ChuckColson/2007/03/09/for_the_sake_of_the_planet?page=full&comments=true http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/china-boasts-one-child-policy-has-reduced-green-house-gas-emissions/
