As more evidence of Great Britain’s continued plunge into the liberal abyss, the chairman of the country’s Sustainable Development Commission says that couples who have more than two kids contribute to the destruction of the planet:

Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government?s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming. He says political leaders and green campaigners should stop dodging the issue of environmental harm caused by an expanding population.

A report by the commission, to be published next month, will say that governments must reduce population growth through better family planning.

But wait … the insanity is not confined to the British Isles alone. Our own Speaker of the House, the inimitable Nancy Pelosi, said that family planning services reduce costs, suggesting the facile notion that children are an economic drain.

Roy had some good thoughts on the ties between eugenics and global warming alarmists here.
