Here we go AGAIN . . .
More Enviro wackos spewing GREEN bile.
And once again, it's related to CHILDREN.
COUPLES who have more than two children should be charged a lifelong tax to offset their extra offspring's carbon dioxide emissions, a medical expert says.
The report in an Australian medical journal called for parents to be charged $5000 a head for every child after their second, and an annual tax of up to $800.
And couples who were sterilized would be eligible for carbon credits under the controversial proposal.
Perth specialist Professor Barry Walters was heavily critical of the $4000 baby bonus, saying that paying new parents extra for every baby fuelled more children, more emissions and "greenhouse-unfriendly behaviour".
Instead, it should be replaced with a "baby levy" in the form of a carbon tax in line with the "polluter pays" principle, he wrote in the latest Medical Journal of Australia.
"Every family choosing to have more than a defined number of children should be charged a carbon tax that would fund the planting of enough trees to offset the carbon cost generated by a new human being," said Prof Walters, an obstetrician at King Edward Memorial Hospital.
Sustainable Population Australia suggested a maximum of two, he said.
By the same reasoning, contraceptives like diaphragms and condoms, as well as sterilization procedures, should attract carbon credits, the specialist said.
"As doctors, I believe we need to think this way," he wrote in a letter to the journal.
"As Australians I believe we need to be less arrogant.
"As citizens of the world, I believe we deserve no more population concessions than those in India or China."
Family groups rejected the calls, saying larger families used less energy than smaller ones and should not be penalized.

So now it's "medical experts" going ENVIRO on us.
The family "unit" is becoming "unglued" because of these loons.
I guess we're just supposed to stop having children!
Eventually all of the parks will be filled with old people and no children playing in them.
Have a baby, plant a tree . . .
