Commentary: Far from Environmentalists’ ‘Immoral’ Claim – We Need Children Now More than Ever

In a recent television interview, environmental activist Donnachadh McCarthy informed the public that having more than two kids is selfish. McCarthy states in the interview that humanity has destroyed 70 percent of “nature” in one generation, presumably due to our so-called carbon footprint, although he doesn’t explain exactly how this has occurred. 

“There’s a moral issue here,” he says. “How can we pass that on to the next generation? Every child in an industrial country like ours has around 505 hundred tonnes of carbon over their lifetime. That’s equivalent to 1000 years of electricity for a household. So each child has an impact, and we’re saying one is great, two is plenty, and three is selfish.”

    He's assuming all children will be Takers, like him.

    I raised Makers.

  2. Bullshit! Carbon is necessary for plant growth and we are at a 10,000 year low spell. Go fill your bath tub with water. Add a drop of olive oil. That is about the effect humans have on our environment. Metropolitan areas have a high concentration of pollution but their footprint is small compared to available landmass and 70% of the world is covered with water.

  6. The right people are doing the wrong thing by limiting their family size. The wrong people are having kids they can't afford and won't raise right.

  7. If Mr McCarthy is serious about reducing carbon dioxide why hasn't he committed suicide? C'mon, lead the way!
