Empowering women???

Al Gore recently said this regarding global warming (oops I mean climate change) during an appearance in New York City:

“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.

“You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women,” he said. “And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”

Ubiquitous availablity of fertility management? This empowers women? Really? Societies begin to maker better "choices"? Really? Maybe he needs to read this. Or possibly this might convince him. Or perhaps this? No, I guess it is because of the money he can't see the truth.

I thought that population control was so 70s. Guess not.

Over population is a myth.
