Only someone who REALLY wants to hate on Bernie would perceive what he was saying as 'blaming poor people for climate change' ... or think is some eugenics plan ffs.
Fact of the matter is, people in poorer countries are going to be suffering worse from climate change than those in developed countries regardless of the fact that it's much less 'their fault'.
In fact, it's to their OWN advantage to begin to work towards ZPG otherwise there's just going to be more people suffering in such places due to ACC.
But yeah, the WHOLE WORLD should start telling their populations that having >2 kids is an immoral act, and that having 0-1 children is the most socially desirable, at least until such time as the world population is reduced over upcoming decades to about 1/2 of what it is now, at most.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
