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.

Professor Walters said the average annual carbon dioxide emission by an Australian individual was about 17 metric tons, including energy use.

"Every newborn baby in Australia represents a potent source of greenhouse gas emissions for an average of 80 years, not simply by breathing but by the profligate consumption of resources typical of our society," he wrote.

Too bad his Mum didn't have the same attitude before he was born.

Being the prolific person that I am, I would be broke!!!

Finally somebody is getting to the real issues! I've been saying it for years, those little milk suckers have been getting a free ride for too long! I say tax the hell out of the little freeloaders. Then maybe they'd get a job instead of crying and whining all the time!

Boy... the mexicans here in America thinking they can breed themselves into power better hope that doesn't take effect here.

They don't think they can "breed themselves into power." They're Catholic and the Vatican forbids the use of birth control. If you've got a problem with all the Mexicano pupae, take it up with the church.

Population control measures (forced abortion) all in the name of saving the environment.

Sounds like we've found the bat-shit crazy lib's Final Solution to all humanity.

*Gasp!* How'd you get a copy of the "LIB HANDBOOK?!?" :eek:

[bullypulpit]

While the idea has a certain appeal, you'd wind up with the situation that currently exists in China and India where fetuses are aborted if they're female or female infants are either abandoned or sold.

Population control needs to be addressed as the concept of "be fruitful and multiply" ain't working so well, as in too well.

[glockmail]

The solution to over-population is to cut taxes, thereby increasing incomes.


Even more impressive is the decrease in the fertility rate for women in the high income countries of the world (More Developed Regions: MDRs) to 1.6 which is well below the replacement level of 2.1. As the chart indicates, fertility rates in all regions have fallen significantly, with Africa being the only remaining area with a very high childbearing rate. Some current fertility rates from a sample of countries are:

United States: 2.06
Italy: 1.18
Spain: 1.15
Ukraine: 1.26
Zambia: 5.62
China: 1.82
India: 3.11
...

Predicting future demographic trends is highly uncertain. However, the crucial determinate of long-run trends in the size of the world's human population is the fertility rate or average number of children per woman. The trend in that fertility rate is down in virtually every country in the world. http://www.uwsp.edu/business/economicswisconsin/e_lecture/pop_sum.htm
