Canada’s tax-funded national broadcaster has run a report telling Canadians that the best way to “mitigate” what it called the “climate crisis” is to “have a smaller family.”
In a Nov. 28, 2018 article illustrating how Canadians can “mitigate climate change”, the CBC claimed that at the top of the list of the “four biggest ways individuals can help cut down on emissions” is for parents to “have one fewer child.”
The CBC underscores in a chart created in part by Seth Wynes, a PhD student at the University of British Columbia, that while avoiding air travel will spare the environment 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, and living car-free will reduce carbon emissions by 2.4 tons, having “one fewer child” will save the earth from 58.7 tons of C02.
