The Greenies continue their assault against humanity.  She doesn't mind 
limiting to 2 children because she already made it.  She wasn't #3.  I 
am wondering how she will get the third world countries to comply, since 
they are the ones with the population explosions and are least able to 
care for them  ....  I thought the left was all about pro-choice and not 
to have government interference.  I see that is now limited to the first 
2.  At #3 the government forces an abortion ?

Two children should be limit, says green guru

Sarah-Kate Templeton, Health Editor

COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by 
creating an unbearable burden on the environment, the government’s green 
adviser has warned. 

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. 

“I am unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own 
responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how they 
decide to procreate and how many children they think are appropriate,” 
Porritt said. 

“I think we will work our way towards a position that says that having 
more than two children is irresponsible. It is the ghost at the table. 
We have all these big issues that everybody is looking at and then you 
don’t really hear anyone say the “p” word.” 

The Optimum Population Trust, a campaign group of which Porritt is a 
patron, says each baby born in Britain will, during his or her lifetime, 
burn carbon roughly equivalent to 2½ acres of old-growth oak woodland - 
an area the size of Trafalgar Square. 

The British population, now 61m, will pass 70m by 2028, the Office for 
National Statistics says. The fertility rate for women born outside 
Britain is estimated to be 2.5, compared with 1.7 for those born here. 
The global population of 6.7 billion is expected to rise to 9.2 billion 
by 2050. 

Porritt, who has two children, intends to persuade environmental 
pressure groups to make population a focus of campaigning. 

“Many organisations think it is not part of their business. My mission 
with the Friends of the Earth and the Greenpeaces of this world is to 
say: ‘You are betraying the interests of your members by refusing to 
address population issues and you are doing it for the wrong reasons 
because you think it is too controversial,” he said. 

Porritt, a former chairman of the Green party, says the government must 
improve family planning, even if it means shifting money from curing 
illness to increasing contraception and abortion. 

He said: “We still have one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies 
in Europe and we still have relatively high levels of pregnancies going 
to birth, often among women who are not convinced they want to become 
mothers.
