A Project for a New Global Future

Scott Roeder was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole until he is 104 for the murder of Dr. George Tiller. (Read the full story here). While we here at NGF are happy that he was convicted of the murder and won’t be eligible for release during his natural lifetime, it seems as though the punishment doesn’t quite fit the crime. Perhaps death by firing squad should be brought back just for this nut job.

Dr. Tiller was a brave man who did some good work. While he did not perform normal elective abortions to end pregnancies that were simply unwanted, he did prevent some babies from being born with severe birth defects or abnormalities. And that’s a heck of a lot more good than Scott Roeder has done for this planet.

Despite being the 5th most powerful earthquake in recorded history, the anticipated reduction in global population today was a non-event.

Chile is well equipped to handle earthquakes, so the loss of life was not the same as seen in Haiti.  We will be lucky if the death toll tops 1000.

We had strong hope for the tsunami that sped across the Pacific, but the waves just were not big enough to cause much damage.

Oh well, perhaps another day.

A magnitude 8.8 earthquake has hit Chile and tsunami was triggered and is travelling at 500 mph across the ocean, may possibly hit Hawaii.

New updates will come as they are available.  We may have a nice dent in the population today!

So the official death toll from the earthquake in Haiti is now around 170,000 and is expected to reach 200,000. This is a big improvement from the estimate in our previous post and will set the growth of the population back by a few years at least.

There is also a lot of talk about decentralizing the population of the country during the rebuilding process by moving people out to smaller villages and cities throughout the island. This of course is good, but much more needs to be done to reduce the population in order for there to ever be hope for the country.

Right now all sorts of ships and planes are bringing food and medicine to the country non stop. Why not bring condoms and birth control and a little bit of education to go along with it?

In the meantime, there is still hope for another big earthquake. A nearby fault which is thought to have a lot of pressure built on it barely moved during the 7.0 quake that hit the island.

The earthquake in Haiti may seem like great news to all of us who wish for a good reduction in population. Especially for a country as densely populated and impoverished as Haiti.

Haiti is a great example of what happens when population grows unchecked. Resources are extremely scarce and almost every single tree in the entire country has been cut down.

The population continues to grow and grow because there is no education, no birth control, no family planning, and simply not quite enough disease and disaster to keep things in check.

For example:  The Red Cross estimates that as many as 50,000 are dead from the earthquake. But for a country that has a population closing in on 9 million there will be over 100,000 babies born this year.

Maybe they will be lucky enough to have a dozen more big quakes so that the good people of Haiti can start to live well again.

The Telegraph is reporting that scientists have created the worlds first lab grown meat.

This is bad news.  The end result could mean growing literally millions of pounds of food cheaply using less water, land, resources, and with less pollution and greenhouse gases.

The research is backed by a large sausage corporation and just shows that greedy scientists will take a paycheck from any one in order to keep the world on the path of overpopulation.

News is coming out of the UK and Norway of a new drug resistant super-H1N1

Two are dead from the strain in Norway and the one in Wales is completely resistant to Tamiflu. Could this be the mutation we have all been waiting for to give this pandemic the kick start that is so badly needed?

So far there are just over 6000 confirmed deaths from H1N1 worldwide. The actual number is certainly much higher as not everyone who gets sick and dies is tested for H1N1, however so far we have not seen the event we have been waiting for. Let’s hope these new mutations show some promise.

In other news, the H1N1 vaccine is still in short supply, so an un-vaccinated population still offers a glimmer of hope.

Andrew Revkin recently discussed a “thought experiment” on his blog at the New York Times where he discussed the idea of getting carbon credits for not having children, since it was discovered that spending money on family planning is about the best way to stop carbon emissions.  It is a simple idea really, one that is not new to us here at NGF, but apparently it drew the ire of Rush Limbaugh who said that Mr. Revkin should go kill himself to help the planet.  The ironic thing is that in trying to offend Andrew, Rush actually supported his idea.  Be it not having a child, or just killing yourself, or even someone else.. the end result is that you make the world a little bit better.

I am not really a fan of Mr. Revkin or Mr. Limbaugh, but I am happy to see that little by little people in the mainstream are catching on to the idea that not having all sorts of children is a good thing, that there are many good reasons to reduce the population instead of constantly trying to grow it.

Here’s to hoping the idea continues to gain ground.

The results of a recent HIV vaccine trial in Thailand are out and although thankfully not significant enough to put an actual vaccine into production, it has given researchers hope that they are moving in the right direction.

This is very bad news.

HIV/AIDS Has been an incredible asset in the population fight.  Not just because it kills people. It does not really work fast enough to kill a significant amount of humans.  However, the fear of getting HIV/AIDS stops hundreds of millions of people from having unprotected sex… or even from having sex at all.

Without the fear of getting a terrible incurable disease, a vaccinated population will become sluttier than you could ever imagine, each individual could engage in sexual activities with thousands of unprotected partners every year the global birthrate would shoot up from 2.2 babies per female to more than 16.

In just a few generations we could see a population on this planet of over 100 billion.

Scary times indeed.  Maybe we will get lucky and some more earthquakes in Asia will wipe out any more vaccine progress.

Since teen pregnancy rates in the US are higher than any other developed nation, perhaps it is time to try something new: scaring teen girls into abstinence (or at least using birth control). Let them take a look at this screaming 19 pound mini sumo wrestler and imagine trying to squeeze him out of their little vagina’s and see if that does the trick! Not only is he 3 times the size of an average baby, but he is 3 times as loud, too. And he eats 3 times as much as a normal sized infant. That means (to an American teen mother) 3 times as much $$$ for infant formula (since American teen mothers don’t seem to realize that they can feed their babies with breast milk. They think you have to buy formula from the grocery store.) If that doesn’t close their legs faster than a venus fly trap, then I don’t know what will!
