Environmentalism hits a new low

For years I've believed that environmentalism has replaced Christianity as the official religion of western governments. For those who think that is "progressive" think again.

Now comes Professor Barry Walters of Australia who wants to impose a $5,000 childbirth tax and an annual baby tax of $800 to pay for the carbon footprint of children.

Writing in a medical journal, the professor said, “Every newborn baby in Australia represents a potent source of greenhouse gas emissions for an average of 80 years, not simply by breathing but by the profligate consumption of resources typical of our society. Far from showering financial booty on new mothers and rewarding greenhouse-unfriendly behaviour, a ‘baby levy’ in the form of a carbon tax should apply, in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle.”

Self-loathing on display. First step Kyoto on the march to government forced abortions in the name of stopping climate change.
