Family Planning: A Major Environmental Emphasis
The carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environmentally sensitive practices people might employ their entire lives – things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Some people who are serious about wanting to reduce their “carbon footprint” on the Earth have one choice available to them that may yield a large long-term benefit – have one less child.
A study by statisticians at Oregon State University concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environmentally sensitive practices people might employ their entire lives – things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.
The research also makes it clear that potential carbon impacts vary dramatically across countries. The average long-term carbon impact of a child born in the U.S. – along with all of its descendants – is more than 160 times the impact of a child born in Bangladesh.
“In discussions about climate change, we tend to focus on the carbon emissions of an individual over his or her lifetime,” said Paul Murtaugh, an OSU professor of statistics. “Those are important issues and it’s essential that they should be considered. But an added challenge facing us is continuing population growth and increasing global consumption of resources.”
In this debate, very little attention has been given to the overwhelming importance of reproductive choice, Murtaugh said. When an individual produces a child – and that child potentially produces more descendants in the future – the effect on the environment can be many times the impact produced by a person during their lifetime.
Under current conditions in the U.S., for instance, each child ultimately adds about 9,441 metric tons of carbon dioxide to the carbon legacy of an average parent – about 5.7 times the lifetime emissions for which, on average, a person is responsible.
And even though some developing nations have much higher populations and rates of population growth than the U.S., their overall impact on the global equation is often reduced by shorter life spans and less consumption. The long-term impact of a child born to a family in China is less than one fifth the impact of a child born in the U.S., the study found.
As the developing world increases both its population and consumption levels, this may change.
“China and India right now are steadily increasing their carbon emissions and industrial development, and other developing nations may also continue to increase as they seek higher standards of living,” Murtaugh said.
The study examined several scenarios of changing emission rates, the most aggressive of which was an 85 percent reduction in global carbon emissions between now and 2100. But emissions in Africa, which includes 34 of the 50 least developed countries in the world, are already more than twice that level.
The researchers make it clear they are not advocating government controls or intervention on population issues, but say they simply want to make people aware of the environmental consequences of their reproductive choices.
“Many people are unaware of the power of exponential population growth,” Murtaugh said. “Future growth amplifies the consequences of people’s reproductive choices today, the same way that compound interest amplifies a bank balance.”
Murtaugh noted that their calculations are relevant to other environmental impacts besides carbon emissions – for example, the consumption of fresh water, which many feel is already in short supply.

[…] Deng Xiaoping introduced China’s one child policy in 1978-79, to halt – an average of 6 children per family – population growth. On 25 Sep 1980 an official public letter called on all citizens to adhere to the one child policy. The One Child policy was enacted and managed by the National Population and Family Planning Commission, through incentives, persuasion and coercion. Unofficial figures claim approximately 300-400 million births were prevented between 1978-2015. A 2008 survey reported that 76% of the Chinese public support the law. Less than 10% of Chinese families have taken advantage of the Chinese governments relaxation of the law to a two child policy; citing environmental and economic reasons for their adherence to the one child policy rule. Each child increases a parent’s carbon footprint by a factor of 20.

[…] As the legal enforcement of EoP Scientific and Cultural [eop-scicultlaw.tygae.org.za] breeding/consumption international law occurs; more research will be done on carrying capacity footprint limits for the different eco-regions; as part of the legal evidentiary truthseeking process. Each eco-region’s footprint will determine the size of a responsible freedom citizen in that eco-regions property ration [property-ration.tygae.org.za]. For example: All nations will have a Consumption Footprint database, and there shall be an international consumption global footprint database. The national footprint database will include consumption footprint info for all the eco-regions in that nation; adjusted to the global eco-footprint average property ration: 7.2 gha at a population of 1 billion, or 72 gha at population of 100 million as per suggested EoP Scientific: eco-footprint carrying capacity international law.
So, for example: Tom is accused by his neighbour Jane of overconsumption in Buffalo NY. Tom and his neighbour go to the Buffalo library to input Tom’s consumption footprint data into the library’s consumption footprint calculator database. Tom and Jane still disagree about the accuracy of their input data or the output results; and so they decide to go to Buffalo Footprint court. Tom and Jane provide the Clerk of the Court with their Tom consumption data; a Footprint police investigator checks it for accuracy; and the consumption data is submitted into the Court footprint calculator. Tom is found (a) innocent; Jane apologizes in writing for her sincere but mistaken allegation and goes to a consumption footprint course to learn to accurately measure consumption footprint inputs; (b) negligently guilty: Tom apologizes in writing and goes to a consumption footprint course to learn to accurately measure consumption footprint inputs; (c) negligently and/or intentionally guilty: Tom disputes (i) the accuracy of one or more consumption factors measured in the Footprint calculator’s sustainability accuracy; and/or (ii) the finding of his deliberate intentional violation: so the matter goes to court for Tom to provide the court with his evidence in support of the IPAT factors inaccuracy; and/or mitigation of deliberate intentional violation. If the Judge considers some of Tom’s evidence indicating that particular consumption factors for the eco-region are inaccurate to be reasonable; the Judge can recommend an truthseeking enquiry investigation of those factors, or make a ruling in support of a change of that consumption factor for that eco-region in the footprint calculator database. If Tom is found intentionally guilty of consumption crimes of aggression [crimes-of-aggression.tygae.org.za]: the penalty for which is honourable death: Tom is allowed to remove his gene’s from the genepool by means of his preferred assisted suicide preference, by a certain date.
Similarly the crimes of aggression death penalty will be applicable for individuals in cases where: (i) if Tom or Jane are found to have engaged in deliberate and/or malicious inaccurate data input statements to the Clerk; (ii) any Footprint Calculator scientists are found guilty of intentionally including inaccurate footprint data, or (iii) citizens found guilty of engaging in irregular methods to enter inaccurate footprint calculator data; (iv) citizens found guilty of breeding more than one child, or hiding information from the state about one child only breeding cheating.

[…] A study by statisticians at Oregon State University concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environmentally sensitive practices people might employ their entire lives – things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs. – Murtaugh: Every Child Increases EcoFootprint by a Factor of 20 – Oregon Univ Study [SQ Copy].

[…] Procreation Factor:
As noted, the more people there are; the less biologically productive land there is available for everyone else. According to the research of Paul Murtaugh [sq-pmurtaugh.tygae.org.za], the procreation factor that should be added by ecology footprint organisations to their Consumption footprint calculators, is 20 per child. Put differently: Each Child increases a parent’s cumulative consumption footprint by factor of 20. […]

We need to change the lack of ego/eco literacy [ego-eco-literacy.tygae.org.za] character international law swamp constitution. When swamp constitution international law doesn’t tell the responsible freedom [responsible-freedom.tygae.org.za] truth it can end up with a pile of bodies in a sea of blood. …… Is it possible to argue with Putin? Of course, but only if you [are sincere and] have ironclad counterarguments. …. The total value of Russia’s mineral and raw materials base according to the explored and evaluated reserves of all types of extractable resources, comes to no less than 28 trillion USD, however an evaluation of the [EROEI] profitable portion comes to only 1.5 trillion USD. At the first stage, the state’s efforts must be directed at solving the following problems: improvement of the natural resources legislation, including improving the administrative and criminal liability for violating it; one should note that the solution of many social problems and a whole range of factors which determine the future of the Russian Federation depend overwhelmingly on the level of rationality, well-considered responsibility and the scale of the use of natural wealth potential. …. We propose convening a special forum under the U.N. auspices for a comprehensive consideration of the issues related to the depletion of natural resources, destruction of habitat and climate change. Russia would be ready to co-sponsor such a forum. ….. Another important point: in my speech at the 70th session of the UN General Assembly, I said that we must take a comprehensive approach to the climate change problem. In this respect, I want to confirm Russia’s proposal to host a scientific forum under the aegis of the UN to discuss not just climate change, but also issues concerning depletion of natural resources and degradation of the human habitat. – [EoP Amended] Gen Alexander Lebed; MIT: Alexander Lebed Quotes; Vesti: Putin: 01.02; Military Gospel: VV Putin: Mineral & Raw Materials Resources & Development Strategy for the Russian Economy; Kremlin: 28 Sep 15: Vladimir Putin Speech at 70th session of the UN General Assembly [MG Copy]; Kremlin: 30 Nov 15: Vladimir Putin: Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change [MG Copy]; Alliance of World Scientists: World Scientists Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice [MG Copy]; Union of Concerned Scientists: 1992 World Scientists Warning to Humanity; Murtaugh: Every Child Increases EcoFootprint by a Factor of 20 – Oregon Univ Study; [SQ Copy].
