Kids: You must die for the sake of the planet

Via Andrew Bolt:

Professor Anne Barbeau Gardiner is astonished by Gaia prophet James Lovelock’s new book, The Revenge of Gaia:

Lovelock assures us that he does not agree with the “totalitarian greens, sometimes called eco­fascists,” who want to see most of the human race “eliminated” by genocide so as to leave a “perfect Earth for them alone.” That’s a relief. But wait—he then tells us that if we survive the current crisis, our next goal must be to forcibly reduce our numbers: “If we are to continue as a civilization that successfully avoids natural catastrophes, we have to make our own constraints on growth and make them strong and make them now.” As it is, we are unintentionally at war with Gaia and must agree to “wartime” rationing and temporary “loss of freedom.” Strong constraints? Loss of freedom? What's the difference between this and ecofascism? And how far down will our population have to plummet to satisfy Gaia? Actually, Lovelock states that something like nine-tenths of our population must vanish...

Lovelock’s bottom line:

Our “primary obligation is to the living Earth. Humankind comes second.”

Which is shared by the ABC’s Planet Slayer website, which invites children to calculate how their emissions are killing Gaia, and suggests a solution:

Use our greenhouse calculator to find out when you should die!

Answer? Very soon, in most cases.
