The global warming debate has always been a touchy one for both sides, and when the world’s top global warming activist is talking about the size of population and how that contributes to the choices societies make, it might be worth taking note."Ubiquitous availability of fertility management?" Is that like "no controlling legal authority?" Gore can say less with more words than anyone I know.
In an appearance Monday in New York City, former Vice President Al Gore, prominently known for his climate change activism, took on the subject of population size and the role of society in controlling it to reduce pollution.He offered some ideas about what might be done for females in the name of stabilizing population growth. (h/t Chris Horner via wattsupwiththat.com)“One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women,” Gore said. “You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.
I wonder if it snowed in New York? It usually does when Gore makes a global warming speech.

Al and Tipper have four kids who grew up on a huge spread. How come they're not a blight on the planet, but somehow I am?
I immediately thought the same thing as Larry -- this is more of "Do as I say, not as I do." It's OK for Al to have four kids, but not the rest of us?
Best wishes,
Laura
