Here is a story that has been covered in the Dissent press, and must be mentioned here, as it may not have been picked up in Australia. A high level World Economic Forum adviser, Oxford University’s Professor Sarah Harper, has said that the radical decline in fertility across the developed world (including communist China) is good because it will reduce overconsumption, and hence aid in climate change and all that.
The argument is bogus, since the reductions in population, if not matched by mass immigration will only have long-term effects, over many decades, upon carbon outputs. But, the climate change narrative sees this as an immediate threat; their assumption. So, the argument falls on its face. And, perhaps there may not be a consumption reduction even then, as with a population crash, people may need to use more resources, machinery and technology, just to get by. Thus, the issue is far from resolved. Of course, the glee associated with depopulation confirms the criticisms made of the World Economic Forum agenda.
