Birth control could help combat climate change

More than 200 million women worldwide want contraceptives, but don't have access to them, according to an editorial published in the British medical journal, Lancet. That results in 76 million unintended pregnancies every year.

If those women had access to free condoms or other birth control methods, that could slow rates of population growth, possibly easing the pressure on the environment, the editors say.

It's not the first time lifestyle issues have been tied to the battle against global warming. Climate change experts have previously recommended that people cut their meat intake to slow global warming by reducing the numbers of animals using the world's resources.

    • Wow now children cause global warming too? So everything causes global warming now I guess.

      This is the same retarded premises that was used when Al Qaeda was the cause of everything from the LA wildfires to every manufactured terror threat.

      Just more global warming fraud bs.

    • Overpopulation is one of the concerns of our times and it is also one of most sensitive subjects. There is no one solution for every culture. Clearly artificial insemination of octo-mom was not a good idea. Sex education and cultural changes with promotion of strong family unit is truly needed. Culture promoting and enabling the youth to travel the world in search of personal life fulfillment focusing on personal goals and education will also help.
