Meet the Woman so Afraid of Climate Change She Made Her Husband Get the Snip and Refuses to Have Children

The Mail has published an article by a businesswoman in her 30s who has vowed not to start a family. She has even persuaded her husband to have a vasectomy after doctors refused to sterilise her. Such decisions are anyone’s free choice, and for any reason they wish, but in this case the claimed reason turns out to be climate change

The Mail has published an article by a businesswoman in her 30s who has vowed not to start a family. She has even persuaded her husband to have a vasectomy after doctors refused to sterilise her. Such decisions are anyone’s free choice, and for any reason they wish, but in this case the claimed reason turns out to be climate change:

For how can I bring an innocent warm bundle into the world when none of us can say that the world will even be habitable for them? In the past few weeks, two new sets of statistics have emerged – the first to widespread hand-wringing; the second to barely a whimper.

The first showed that the U.K. birth rate has fallen to its lowest level since records began. Between 2022 and 2023, the fertility rate for England and Wales decreased from an average of 1.49 children per woman to 1.44 –the lowest rate on record and far fewer than are needed to sustain an ageing population.

And the second set of stats? Those were the ones telling us that 2024 is “virtually certain” to be the hottest year on record, according to the European Climate Service.

A year punctuated by deadly heatwaves and catastrophic storms will end up 1.5°C hotter than pre-industrial levels, and for the first time breach the symbolic point beyond which we stop being able to avoid the most disastrous consequences of climate change – a series of knock-on effects which could see the widespread extinction of animal species and even wipe us out.

For me these two statistics are not unrelated. Raising a human being in today’s world is hard. As reasons not to do it, women cite childcare costs, the hit they’ll take to their career and the difficulty in finding a decent man to have a baby with. As a happily married businesswoman with her own sales company, those reasons don’t apply to me.

She doesn’t pull her punches:

I won’t have a child because of the threat posed by climate change.

Those world leaders who gathered in Azerbaijan for the COP29 climate conference last week should know that women like me aren’t having babies because we are too worried that adding to the global population will simply hasten its demise.

Whenever anyone asks me about my childlessness, I tell them the truth and make no apologies for sounding curt. “Why bring children into a world when we don’t know if it’s going to exist in 100 years?”

The most common answer to this always astounds me: “Oh well, it doesn’t matter to me because I won’t be here then!” It’s such a selfish attitude.

Why have children to fulfil a biological need then not care that the world they will inhabit looks increasingly likely to resemble some post-apocalyptic wasteland? The seas barren, the skies raging, the deserts spreading and no way to turn back this ecological disaster.

I have long been terrified of what the future holds. From the age of six I had recurring nightmares in which I’d find myself being pulled through a hole in the sky, my little body shooting up into space.

It seems she’s not alone:

I am just one woman but my decision is not an especially rare one. One U.S. poll found a quarter of adults without children say climate change is part of the reason – while, in 2021, analysis by a global bank found the decision “to not have children owing to fears over climate change is growing and impacting fertility rates quicker than any preceding trend in the field of fertility decline”.

The U.K.-based BirthStrike Movement comprises women who refuse to procreate “to spare [their] child from a dystopian existence”.

Dismissing any arguments for having children as “selfish” (presumably having children in the pre-modern era when they faced the prospect of high infant mortality, disease, disaster and revolution was unconscionably selfish too, and perhaps more so), she takes care to let the Mail’s readers know how she’s doing her bit to stop Britain turning into a boiling and barren desert:

I’m careful to buy my godchildren sustainable gifts, from local businesses in North Yorkshire where I live. I try to do things with my godchildren that teach them to value the beauty in nature, like long walks and collecting shells at the beach. I grow my own veg and I support local producers whenever I can.

Every day I try to do something to help. I use a lower temperature on my washing machine, drive an electric car and scrupulously recycle. I use Vinted instead of buying new clothes and I have a rescue dog. My entire business is digital: we avoid printing anything and send all documents and contracts digitally. I use public transport to travel to business events.

In a curious twist, she’s worried about the impact of making a decision like hers on her own old-age care:

In fact, who will look after my generation as a whole if there aren’t enough young people to pay for pensions and the NHS?

Economists say the plummeting birth rate spells serious trouble for supposedly selfish women like me, whose fault it is.

But if falling birth rates are worrying political leaders, perhaps they should do something to address it by ramping up our response to climate change.

It’s not the job of younger people solely to fund the elderly (I’ve worked from the age of 16 and take full responsibility for my retirement income) but in any case, whether the state pension keeps pace with inflation may well be the least of our concerns when Norfolk and the Thames estuary are under water and wildfires are raging across our national parks.

The argument seems to be that if governments fall over themselves to devote their every waking minute to preventing climate change, then women like her might have children after all. Perhaps. Or perhaps there’s a subtext. Who knows?

The article is a fascinating insight into the psychological effects of state-sponsored fearmongering, resulting in potentially the greatest catastrophe of all: a culture of total negativity. One wonders why she bothers to go to work, which incidentally appears to be about helping other companies sell more stuff.

Worth reading in full if only to see just how nihilistic the culture of climate change has become.

Climate change kills the unborn: The UN wants us to save babies with solar panels and wind plants

This week’s UN witchcraft is that a half a degree of global warming will kill babies and pregnant women, give us your money.

Miscarriages due to climate crisis a ‘blind spot’ in action plans – report | Climate crisis | The Guardian

This week’s UN witchcraft is that a half a degree of global warming will kill babies and pregnant women, give us your money.

The UN COP29 meeting starting Nov 11th, fights for relevance in the shadow of the US Election, like a suckerfish under an aircraft carrier.

The latest confected attempt to get attention is to guilt trip the West — telling us that women and babies will die if we don’t install enough solar panels. This is despite humans being mammals which evolved to cope with the heat and the cold. We live a more closeted, protected existence than any time in the last million years. Not many people give birth in caves these days. Indeed we’re a species that inhabits towns with monthly temperatures that vary by 90 degrees Celsius and we are supposed to panic about another half a degree?

The truth is that being cold, poor and hungry increases stillbirths just as much as any heatwave, and the thing that saves babies on a hot day is an air-conditioner. The answer to all four killers thus, is cheap electricity and fossil fuels.

One day history students will study how the UN uses biblical paraphrasing to demand their tithe and control:

Miscarriages due to climate crisis a ‘blind spot’ in action plans – report

The report follows an ultimatum from the UN secretary general, António Guterres, on the climate emergency: “We’re playing with fire, but there can be no more playing for time. We’re out of time.” He said global heating was supercharging monster hurricanes, bringing biblical floods and turning forests into tinderboxes, and said governments had to rapidly wean the world off its fossil fuel addiction.

Naturally, only babies that die from heat stress are politically marketable, the UN doesn’t care about the ones that die from the cold:

Increasing climate extremes are causing more lost babies, premature births and cognitive damage to newborns, the report said. For example, a study in India found a doubled risk of miscarriage in pregnant women suffering heat stress, while another in California found a significant association between long-term heat exposure and stillbirth and premature birth.

Awkwardly, cold temperatures also cause stillbirths and miscarriages (Ruan et al) so if man-made climate change is warming the world, it must be saving babies too. Shh!

Five minutes of research, which the Guardian team don’t do, turns up a meta-study showing that poverty doubles the risk of death in babies:

Numerous studies confirm that mothers of low socioeconomic status and unemployed parents face a far higher risk of having a stillbirth or a low birthweight child [7–10]. It has been demonstrated that women or families living in adverse socioeconomic conditions have twice the risk of having a stillborn baby compared to their more privileged counterparts [11]. Unemployment and unfavourable economic conditions are usually associated with poor maternal nutrition, elevated psychological stress during pregnancy and limited access to medical supervision and prenatal care. Several studies show that pregnant women with elevated levels of stress have considerably higher risks of a stillbirth, independent of age, parity, education, smoking and alcohol habits or other compromising characteristics…. Moreover, in low income countries or deprived environments, poor maternal nutrition and low body mass index can result in higher stillbirth frequency [15]. — Tsimbos et al (2021)

Thus to save babies, and follow the science — we must burn more fossil fuels

Wealthier nations have higher CO2 emissions, more heaters, more air conditioners, better food, and their babies don’t die as often.

t is a crime the UN is not helping poor African nations build coal plants.

Child Mortality falls as  CO2 emissions rise per capita.  | OWID

UPDATE#2: TonyfromOz asked where China was, and pointed out that it and many big countries were missing which is a great point. So here below are the top 25 largest in population plus a few other notables.

As expected, the largest countries almost all fall in the centre of the trendline.

Pfizer, FDA, Dr. Walensky Knew Fetuses, Babies Died

Babies in this section of the Pfizer documents sustained respiratory distress, including from air sacs leaking between lungs and chest walls. Babies and fetuses were dying.

From Outspoken with Dr Naomi Wolf

By Dr. Naomi Wolf

The darkest of all of the WarRoom/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Analysis Reports so far has appeared — this one by COO and WarRoom/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Analysis Project Director Amy Kelly. Pfizer’s latest-released tranche of internal documents — which the FDA sought a court to keep hidden for 75 years — confirms that Pfizer knew that women who had been “exposed” to the vaccine — including prior to pregnancy – were sustaining spontaneous abortions and miscarriages. [https://dailyclout.io/bombshell-pfizer-and-the-fda-knew-in-early-2021-that-the-pfizer-mrna-covid-vaccine-caused-dire-fetal-and-infant-risks-they-began-an-aggressive-campaign-to-vaccinate-pregnant-women-anyway/]

Pfizer knew that “exposure” as they defined it, included sexual intercourse with vaccinated men, as well as skin contact and inhalation. They knew that 19 per cent of the babies identified, in the first three months of the study, sustained adverse events, many of them serious; one baby was rushed to the hospital.

Babies in this section of the Pfizer documents sustained respiratory distress, including from air sacs leaking between lungs and chest walls. Babies and fetuses were dying. My interview with Northern California longtime midwife Ellen Jasmer revealed that she is seeing a great deal of this — babies who seem fine at birth, go home, but who are rushed to hospital within a day with respiratory distress — and Pfizer knew in April 2021 — two full years ago — that this would indeed happen.

This, by the way, is the kind of abnormal, flattened, damaged placenta that Nurse-Midwife Ellen Jasmer is seeing now in her practice. She says she sees almost no normal placentas any more:

Ms Jasmer describes the horrors of the delivery room these days, and the calcified, damaged placentas and babies in respiratory distress that are now common in her practice: https://dailyclout.io/calcified-placentas-a-nurse-midwifes-disturbing-testimony/

Pfizer knew perfectly well that it was harming multiple aspects of the reproductive process in women. In its secret documents the company calmly described what it called “fetal poles” with no heartbeats, and amniotic sacs without any fetuses, along with other horrors. The documents make use too of the bizarre phrase “missed abortions”.

Why would you use such a phrase in internal documents unless you are trying to elicit spontaneous abortions or miscarriages?

In addition to damage to the fetuses and babies via the moms’ injections, the new tranche of documents also reveal that the PEG in vaccinated moms’ breast milk causes horrendous damage to tiny newborns trying to nurse. We broke this story about contaminated breast milk many months ago, but this tranche of new documents adds confirmation to the fact that Pfizer knew it was poisoning vaccinated women’s breast milk.

The babies in the documents who nursed from vaccinated moms had peeling skin, blurred vision, agitation, convulsions, rashes, fevers, myalgia, vomiting, inflammation of tissues, tissue edema, and many other horrendous conditions.

The data about all of this damage to fetuses and babies were compiled by Pfizer by April 20 2021. The report went to the FDA, and from there to the CDC. Astonishingly, three days later, knowing about this shocking report tallying dead fetuses, dead babies, and babies in distress, Dr Rochelle Walensky called a major White House press conference, at which she declared that the vaccines were “safe and effective” and launched an aggressive PR campaign to urge, bully and “recommend” that pregnant “persons” receive mRNA vaccines ‘for the safety of their babies.’

Dr Walensky was guilty of these shocking lies, in her April 23 2021 press conference:

“Moving on, I want to share a new study that was published this week by CDC scientists.  On Wednesday, the New England Journal of Medicine published the preliminary findings of post-COVID-19 vaccine surveillance in pregnant persons.  Clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines did not include pregnant people, leaving us with limited data on the safety of vaccination in pregnant people and babies to date. 

Through county — country-wide surveillance, using the CDC v-safe app and the v-safe Pregnancy Registry, as well as the Vaccine Adverse Event sys- — Reporting System, we were able to follow over 35,000 pregnant people who were vaccinated.

Pregnant people experienced the same side effects as others following vaccination.  We were also able to follow, in detail, more than 3,900 pregnant women, and over 800 of whom have completed their pregnancies. 

Importantly, no safety concerns were observed for people vaccinated in the third trimester or safety concerns for their babies. [Italics mine]

As such, CDC recommends that pregnant people receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  We know that this is a deeply personal decision, and I encourage people to talk to their doctors or primary care providers to determine what is best for them and for their baby.” [https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/04/23/press-briefing-by-white-house-covid-19-response-team-and-public-health-officials-31/;

I have in my book The Bodies of Others already taken apart “V-Safe” — the non-science pathetic excuse for a surveillance system for pregnant “people” – which is not in fact a double blind study in any way but is rather a phone app, staffed not by physicians or scientists, but by a call center, to which strangers you are supposed to self-report your miscarriage or spontaneous abortion — a totally normal thing to want to do when you have lost your baby.

This pathetic substitute for science, this phone app, is also designed to stop tracking women and babies right when newborn babies are going to reveal problems, if problems exist.

Dr. Walensky hid from American and the world’s women, the fact that Pfizer in its in- depth internal documents had calmly concluded that the company was murdering and injuring babies and fetuses; and she called attention, rather, to the awesome outcomes revealed, or engineered, by a thoroughly gamed phone app.
