Condoms for Climate Change

Do they make one big enough for the Earth? No, but in an ever increasing effort to connect everything possible to climate change in order to keep that myth going, some "experts" think the developed countries need to pay for contraceptives for the rest of the world to stop global warming:

Giving contraceptives to people in developing countries could help fight climate change by slowing population growth, experts said Friday.

More than 200 million women worldwide want contraceptives, but don't have access to them, according to an editorial published in the British medical journal, Lancet. That results in 76 million unintended pregnancies every year.

If those women had access to free condoms or other birth control methods, that could slow rates of population growth, possibly easing the pressure on the environment, the editors say.

"There is now an emerging debate and interest about the links between population dynamics, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and climate change," the commentary says.

You'll notice the article says "emerging debate" and not "emerging evidence" to sustain this argument. There is no evidence that the environment is under "pressure" because some people don't have condoms. The next logical extension of this argument is that we need to pay for worldwide abortions since these people didn't really want to be pregnant and there was no way to avoid this with other means.
