…says McLerran, “Global warming is only a theory. Declining fertility rates are fact that has already happened.” He cites the U.N. prediction on 2050 and adds, “Some demographers predict [population] will decline overall as soon as 2040.”
Demographic Bomb looks at Russia, for example, where the country could lose a third of its population within 40 years. And Moscow is concerned enough now to offer $9,000 to mothers for each child after her first.
Likewise, Portugal’s government is considering charging higher pension payments to those who have fewer than two children. Japan, which has the world’s lowest birth rate outside of Europe, 1.25, has a whole ministry devoted to reversing its decline.
In China, the government publicly defends its one-child-per-family rule, but the municipal administration of Shanghai is encouraging families to have two or more as it prepares to care for its aging population.
Germany is closing hundreds of schools a year, the film reports, and next door, one expert says in Demographic Bomb, it’s conceivable that some day in the near future there will not be a single person left in France of pure French descent.
As for the United States, its population continues to grow only because of immigration or the higher fertility of recent immigrants from Mexico. Native American fertility rates have been falling for decades and according to the film, the impact has already been felt economically.
The anti-religious already have a word for us concerned about this issue: We’re “natalists” who are fanning fears, trying to get women barefoot and pregnant and are, of course, racists worried there won’t be enough white babies. Actually, we’re worried there won’t be any babies, at all – well, that is an exaggeration…we know there will be Christian babies, Jewish babies and Moslem babies. Among those who are actually religious, babies continue to be made – because when you have faith in God, you welcome life with open arms. Its when you don’t believe that you start hunkering down and being worried you won’t have enough for your self. We are more than willing to re-inherit the earth and start all over again.
On the other hand, demographic catastrophe will set off wars and cause untold poverty. We’d rather avoid that, if possible…and this means we have to find ways to get unbelievers to believe. For a couple centuries now the left, in various guises, has tried to talk everyone in to thinking that religion is what makes life miserable…actually, its what makes life possible. Take it away and leave the human being naked in the public square, enslaved to the flesh, and he’ll start lavishing funds on a dog and taking swank vacations and wondering why he’s not happy…
Life is a wonderful thing – if only we can convince the unbelievers.
