Climate impact of Europeans killing native Americans

The drastic loss of area under cultivation in America was traced to well over half of all pre-Colombian Native American population dying in the aftermath of European rediscovery and conquest of the americas.

So perhaps an effective way to combat current anthropogenic global warming would be to find ways to dramatically expand global forest cover.

So killing millions of Americans is a proven method of cooling the planet!

I think its worth a go. (The bible belt are waiting for "the end times" anyway)



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

In America there are more registered motor vehicles than there are licensed drivers. We use the most gasoline. We live in the biggest houses and use the most electricity and gas. We have the biggest economy and consume the most. So yeah, exterminating us would be the logical place to start if you want to combat global warming with homicidal population reduction. But then another group would just replace us at the top of the consumer chain. The wealthiest one billion are responsible for almost all climate change. The poorest one billion are responsible for almost none of it. For some bizarre reason, advocates of radical population reduction are fixated on the populations of India and China rather than wacking themselves. I constantly try to talk proponents of radical population reduction into killing themselves, but they just won't cooperate.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.

Driver's License?

We don't need no stinking driver's license.

Holy crap.  Maybe we have to teach everyone to be anti-vaxxers, and to give tax credits to people who choose NOT to have children!

How many days do you need to puzzle out the flaw in your plan?
