Carbon Offender In Action

More news from the goofy yet frightening folks over at The Church of Global Warming

A West Australian medical expert wants families to pay a $5000-plus “baby levy” at birth and an annual carbon tax of up to $800 a child.

Writing in today’s Medical Journal of Australia, Associate Professor Barry Walters said every couple with more than two children should be taxed to pay for enough trees to offset the carbon emissions generated over each child’s lifetime.

Professor Walters, clinical associate professor of obstetric medicine at the University of Western Australia and the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth, called for condoms and “greenhouse-friendly” services such as sterilisation procedures to earn carbon credits.

And he implied the Federal Government should ditch the $4133 baby bonus and consider population controls like those in China and India. [source]

I wonder if Professor Barry Walters has any children of his own, and I wonder if Professor Barry Walters is currently buying carbon credits to offset the greenhouse he emits when he’s proposing these absurd ideas.

With all this worry about how each human is harming sweet mother Earth by simply being alive, it wouldn’t surprise me if one of them started advocating forced mass euthanasia.
