ok, women. here’s one for you

So, I started looking at this article from Australia because of the relationship of climate change and over-population; things that I think are inextricably linked. 

However, when I got to the end of the very brief article, I was surprised by what Roger Short, a professor at University of Melbourne, had to say:

 

“Global warming is a direct result of human activity,” Professor Short told The Weekend Australian.

“The more people there are, the worse the global warming threat gets.

“So we have got to do everything we can to control human population growth.

“We haven’t given the women of the world freedom from the tyranny — and I do mean tyranny — of unwanted fertility.

“If we could restore that freedom to women, the world could breathe a lot easier and we could look forward to the future because women would sort out the future for us.”

So… I ask for your feedback.  Do you feel women of the world are trapped in a “tyranny” of unwanted fertility?  What do you think women would come up with that could change how our planets future is looking right now?  And, do you think he gave women a compliment, or do you think he created even more tyrannical rule by putting us to work fixing the problems that men have created?

Thoughts…. would LOVE to hear them.

 

And, for those who need the clarification, tyranny is defined:

cruel and oppressive government or rule : refugees who managed to escape Nazi tyranny | the removal of the regime may be the end of a tyranny.• a nation under such cruel and oppressive government.• cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control : she resentedhis rages and his tyranny | figurative the tyranny of the nine-to-five day | hisfather‘s tyrannies.• (esp. in ancient Greece) rule by one who has absolute power without legal right.
