The television presenter said that humans are threatening their own existence and that of
other species by using up the world’s resources.
He said the only way to save the planet from famine and species extinction is to limit
human population growth.
“We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s
not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde.
Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the
natural world is doing it for us right now,” he told the Radio Times.
Sir David, who is a patron of the Population Matters, has spoken out before about the
“frightening explosion in human numbers” and the need for investment in sex education
and other voluntary means of limiting population in developing countries.
“We keep putting on programmes about famine in Ethiopia; that’s what’s happening. Too
many people there. They can’t support themselves — and it’s not an inhuman thing to
say. It’s the case. Until humanity manages to sort itself out and get a coordinated view
about the planet it’s going to get worse and worse.”
In a statement released on the organisation's website, Sir David, 82, said: "I've seen
wildlife under mounting human pressure all over the world and it's not just from human
economy or technology - behind every threat is the frightening explosion in human
numbers.
"I've never seen a problem that wouldn't be easier to solve with fewer people, or harder,
and ultimately impossible, with more.
"That's why I support the OPT, and I wish the environmental NGOs would follow their
lead, and spell out this central problem loud and clear."
The trust, which was founded in 1991, wants the UK population to decrease by not less
than 0.25% a year and has launched a "Stop at Two" pledge to encourage couples to
voluntarily limit the size of their families.

A columnist on The Times, Melanie Reid, argued that we should look to the People's
Republic of China for appropriate remedies. Referring to China's "one child" policy,
Ms Reid wrote that:
"I rather admire the Chinese. They recognised a huge problem and did something about
it. It was dreadfully crude but it has prevented the births of 400 million people."
The Times is a British daily national newspaper based in London. It began in 1785 under
the title The Daily Universal Register and became The Times on 1 January 1788. The
Times and its sister paper The Sunday Times (founded in 1821) are published by Times
Newspapers, since 1981 a subsidiary of News UK, itself wholly owned by the News
Corp group headed by Rupert Murdoch (Knight of St. Gregory)
Melanie Haber is an award-winning Times journalist.
As that great student of Communist China, Jonathan Mirsky, retorted: "The male-female
birth rate in China now is between 115 and 118 males to 100 women. The results? Rape,
abduction (of females for brides) and female infanticide. Why would anyone admire this,
crude or not?"
CHINA AND POPULATION CONTROL
The one child policy, is a part of the family planning policy,[1] was a population
control policy of China which was introduced between 1978 and 198
The policy was enforced at the provincial level through fines that were imposed based on
the income of the family and other factors. "Population and Family Planning
Commissions" exist at every level of government to raise awareness and carry out
registration and inspection work.[8]
The policy was introduced in 1978 and enacted/implemented as a temporary measure[9]
on September 18, 1980[3] to curb a then-surging population and limit the demands for
water and other resources[9] as well as to alleviate social, economic and environmental
problems in China.[10] Demographers are not clear how much reduction happened solely
because of the policy.[11][12][13][14]
The Chinese government says that 400 million births were prevented[15] although the
validity of this claim is in doubt. A report in Newsweek, for example, questions the
cause/effect claimed by China: "...some demographers claim China’s population growth
would have flattened out even without it—the draconian rule left emotional, social and
economic scars the country and its citizens will be dealing with for years."[
On 29 October 2015, Xinhua, China's state news agency, reported a change in the
existing law to a two-child policy, citing a statement from the Communist Party of China,
[19][20][21][22] however it would take effect only when it is ratified in the annual
session of National People's Congress in March 2016
UNITED STATES AND UNITED NATIONS SUPPORT OF CHINA'S ONE CHILD
POLICY
Following on the heels of the elimination of the Mexico City Policy, President Obama
has confirmed that the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which helped instigate,
perpetuate and enforce China's coercive one-child policy, will again receive taxpayer
dollars.
Appended to the statement announcing the end of the Mexico City Policy, Obama said:
"In addition, I look forward to working with Congress to restore U.S. financial support
for the U.N. Population Fund.
"By resuming funding to UNFPA, the U.S. will be joining 180 other donor nations
working collaboratively to reduce poverty, improve the health of women and children,
prevent HIV/AIDS and provide family planning assistance to women in 154 countries."
The move came as no surprise as Obama has spoken out in favor of UNFPA funding in
the past.
President Bush halted funding for UNFPA when it was discovered by an independent
investigation in 2001, and confirmed by a U.S. State Department investigation in 2002,
that the UN group supported restrictive laws and coercive population control tactics in
China, including forced abortion and sterilization.
"The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has decided to continue to provide
financial and technical assistance to the Chinese birth limitation program under the
direction of China's National Population and Family Planning Commission," read a 2006
statement from U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
It continued: "The U.S. opposition to this program is a matter of principle. It is not
directed at UNFPA as an institution. Rather, it is based on the strong opposition of the
United States to human rights abuses associated with coercive birth limitation regimes."
The statement, however, was recently erased from the State Department website.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD SUPPORT OF CHINA'S ONE CHILD POLICY AND
FORCED ABORTION
As Republican-controlled House considered a successful measure to eliminate UNFPA’s
$39 million budget, Planned Parenthood issued a press release claiming the bill would
“harm women around the world.” (Emphasis in original.)
UNFPA also donated $1.6 million to International Planned Parenthood Federation in
2010. Planned Parenthood is IPPF’s U.S. “member association.”
The organization has not announced plans to return the money nor to withdraw from
UNFPA.
Planned Parenthood official Norman Fleischmann in a letter to the Napa Valley Register
commended Beijing’s “One Child Policy”, stating in calling for the same in the U.S.,
“China’s ‘one child’ policy… is a start… the world is doomed to strangle among the coils
of pitiless exponential growth.” The faith-based Catholic Herald was cited by Live
Action News another official having quoted, “[T]he Chinese government has the best
interests of its people at heart.” Lucy Lefever, the piece’s author, reported in 2012 the
International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has operated for decades in China.
Its Chinese branch, IFPF, was granted full-membership in 1983. The IFPF’s constitution
states specifically its mission is to “… assist the government in maintaining a low
birthrate.” A fuller detail from its mission statement contains the following:
"Based on the need of the masses, CFPA shall endeavor to improve its service and
capacity, and organize and advocate the masses to have less children, be well-off,
healthy, and civilized.
[Objective] a. To implement the policies, laws, and regulations on national population
and family planning, and promote the masses’ awareness on family planning."

world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of
minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries”.

Turner had to answer for his history of provocative statements, and made a few new ones,
when members of the website WeAreChange.org caught up with him on camera late last
month.
One individual asked the CNN founder what his goal was for world population.
“I think two billion is about right,” Turner said as he walked briskly away. In October, the
number of people in the world reached seven billion.
Before disappearing around the corner Turner said he hoped to eliminate five billion
people through the “one child family.”
The interviewer responded, “One child policy.”
Turner answered, “For 100 years.”
“Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded, not only in
producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering a high morale
and community propose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's
leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.” (David
Rockefeller, New York Times, 1973.)
Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or
Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.
According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated 65 million
Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist”
China. Anyone who got in his way was done away with -- by execution, imprisonment or
forced famine.
For Mao, the No. 1 enemy was the intellectual. The so-called Great Helmsman reveled in
his blood-letting, boasting, “What’s so unusual about Emperor Shih Huang of the China
Dynasty? He had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000
scholars.” Mao was referring to a major “accomplishment” of the Great Cultural
Revolution, which from 1966-1976 transformed China into a great House of Fear.
The most inhumane example of Mao’s contempt for human life came when he ordered
the collectivization of China’s agriculture under the ironic slogan, the “Great Leap
Forward.” A deadly combination of lies about grain production, disastrous farming
methods (profitable tea plantations, for example, were turned into rice fields), and
misdistribution of food produced the worse famine in human history.
Deaths from hunger reached more than 50 percent in some Chinese villages. The total
number of dead from 1959 to 1961 was between 30 million and 40 million -- the
population of California.
Rounding up enemies
Only five years later, when he sensed that revolutionary fervor in China was waning,
Mao proclaimed the Cultural Revolution. Gangs of Red Guards -- young men and women
between 14 and 21 -- roamed the cities targeting revisionists and other enemies of the
state, especially teachers.
Professors were dressed in grotesque clothes and dunce caps, their faces smeared with
ink. They were then forced to get down on all fours and bark like dogs. Some were beaten
to death, some even eaten -- all for the promulgation of Maoism. A reluctant Mao finally
called in the Red Army to put down the marauding Red Guards when they began
attacking Communist Party members, but not before 1 million Chinese died.
All the while, Mao kept expanding the laogai, a system of 1,000 forced labor camps
throughout China. Harry Wu, who spent 19 years in labor camps, has estimated that from
the 1950s through the 1980s, 50 million Chinese passed through the Chinese version of
the Soviet gulag. Twenty million died as a result of the primitive living conditions and
14-hour work days.
Such calculated cruelty exemplified his Al Capone philosophy: “Political power grows
out of the barrel of a gun.”
And yet Mao Zedong remains the most honored figure in the Chinese Communist Party.
At one end of historic Tiananmen Square is Mao’s mausoleum, visited daily by large,
respectful crowds. At the other end of the square is a giant portrait of Mao above the
entrance to the Forbidden City, the favorite site of visitors, Chinese and foreign.
