November 20, 2009
The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) has released its annual report, hinting that the causes of "sustainable development" and managing climate change require greater emphasis on family-planning programs. The report argues that "universal access to reproductive health" would help to conserve economic resources and reduce carbon emissions, drawing the world back from a "possible climate disaster zone."

If they're serious about "sustainable development" and "managing climate changes", they'll shut up about birth control, abortion, and family planning. The "hot air" saved will help climate control and give religions the opportunity to educate people about family planning, which will lead to truly "sustainable development".
