''What you [really, really] need to ask yourself: what will my kids do when our immigration policy drives this civilization beyond the carrying capacity of this nation, destroys our environment, exceeds our water supplies as well as degrades our standard of living and quality of life into that of a third world country?''
Ever get the feeling you’ve been conned? Somebody sold you a bill of goods? Got a queasy feeling deep down in your guts? P.T. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
And yet, at the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change, not one single, solitary, pea-pickin’ world leader mentioned the fact that humans add an unimaginable number of themselvs to the planet annually; and, that no amount of cap and trade, conservation or even alternative energy could prevent desecration of Earth’s environment. Never have I seen so many ‘dead’ people sitting up in their seats with their eyes open.
In a stunning column, Steve Sailer, www.Vdare.org, exposed the insanity of the Copenhagen fraud with a piece titled: “What the New Census Bureau Projections Mean For Climate Change—and America.”
“With climate in the news, it’s a good time to review the Census Bureau study of the factor that will have the single greatest impact on U.S. carbon emissions over the next 40 years: immigration,” said Sailer. “With a couple of weeks left in the decade, the Census Bureau has finally gotten around to releasing “What If?” projections showing the impact of various immigration policies on America’s population:
“… a greater number of migrants arriving in the United States will correspond to a larger increase in the size of the total population. Under the assumption of a high level of net international migration, the population is expected to grow to 458 million by 2050. … “ [United States Population Projections: 2000 to 2050 by Jennifer M. Ortman and Christine E. Guarneri of the Census Bureau]
That’s an increase of 150 million carbon-belching residents of America.
"In contrast, for the Zero Net International Migration series the population will increase slightly by 2050 to 323 million."
That’s an increase of only 15 million.
“In other words, immigration policy will determine whether the population grows over the next four decades by 150 million or by 15 million—an order of magnitude!” said Sailer. “Americans are just not supposed to think about the link between immigration, population, and carbon emissions. Didn’t George Orwell say, “Ignorance is Strength!” or something like that?!” http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty530.htm
