Following in the path of Bill Gates, the Berkeley California City Council recently passed a resolution declaring climate change a worldwide emergency. The resolution states, “The United States of America has disproportionately contributed to the climate and ecological crises and to preventing a transition away from fossil fuels, and Americans thus bear an extraordinary responsibility to solve the crises.”
Part of solving this “crisis” involves population reduction efforts. According to the resolution, cutting down on carbon emissions should also include a plan to “humanely stabilize [the] population.” Just as Bill Gates proposes, the Berkeley City Council also calls for a reduction in the population in order to mitigate the effects of global warming.
Viruses being genetically prepared in the lab to infect humans
Not far from Berkeley, Professor James Paulson of The Scripps Research Institute in California is engineering a human-infecting form of a deadly new strain of the bird flu. Speaking to the Independent, Professor Paulson said, “We need to know what the virus could do in nature, so we can be alert and aware if we start seeing these changes.”
