QUOTE "Women are on the front lines of many societies buffeted by climate change -- and research indicates they tend to be more vulnerable to these impacts," said the report's lead author, Robert Engelman. Wow. Holy crap, it gets 10 times worse ... QUOTE According to the report, universal access to reproductive healthcare and family planning -- a UNFPA goal since 1994 -- in combination with improved education of girls and gender equality would lead to significant declines in fertility, (*) stabilizing the population of the planet at a level far below estimates commonly used in scientific models of future climate change. As you may have guessed, (*) is mine. It's where that thought goes from "yeah ... maybe" to "in-fucking-sane." Posted by GORDON on Nov. 19 2009,02:25
