Bill, I understand it's your position that humans caused the recent (last ~150 yrs) rise in atmospheric CO2, during which time the concentration rose from ~280 to 380 ppm, and we did so with our industrial emissions, which totaled ~8 Gt (thousand million metric tonnes) for the yr 2005. So how do you, with a straight face, pretend that we can somehow 'hold the line' @ 350ppm, when industry will be releasing ~50Gt by yr 2050!? If the west ceased ALL CO2 emissions, the total will still be ~40Gt!
@zx2012 Bill McKibben gives a much more comprehensive solution in his book "Deep Economy". He argues that it isn't necessarily population, but organization there of. Check it out.

31,000 scientists and the founder of the Weather Channel know that man-made global warming is a hoax.
4500 of the 6000 temp gathering stations were shut down because they didnt agree with the global warming scam.
Watch out for those who want total control and regulation of everything!

Actually, Bill McKibben actually wrote a whole book to tell people to consider maybe having fewer kids.

Bill McKibben has always been at the forefront of environmental issues.
His views about the unsustainable growth of our current economic model are proven true every day.
Unfortunately very few people are listening.

You can say what ever you like - where is your evidence?
Just more alarmist rubbish - just makes me angry!
The science does not support this BS at all.
WAKE UP!!!!!
