Obama has passed the apology torch to Secretaryof State Hillary Clinton and she has taken it to new levels (depths).

Urging India not to emulate America’s “mistakes,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the weekend accepted responsibility on behalf of the U.S. and other developed nations for contributing towards climate change.  “We acknowledge – now with President Obama – that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change,” Clinton said in Mumbai, India.
 
“We are hoping a great country like India will not make the same mistakes,” she added

More disturbing was Clinton’s fascination with the nihilistic notion that limiting a woman’s reproductive rights was “ENLIGHTENING” – read on for what went on at the conference:

In other comments, Clinton described Sunday’s roundtable discussion as “very enlightening, especially for me.”
 
As an example of this, she noted that “one of the participants pointed out that it’s rather odd to talk about climate change and what we must do to stop and prevent the ill effects without talking about population and family planning”

Some green activists have long advocated a greater focus on population control in the climate change campaign.
 
In a position paper adopted by its board of directors in November 2007, the Sierra Club said, “Given the grave implications of population growth, the Sierra Club urges greater effort to explain how population pressure is affecting the environment and stronger support for the program – family planning, health care, and education and opportunity for women – that most effectively encourages smaller families.”
 
Identifying an average of two children per family as a requirement to stabilize the world population, the paper said the Sierra Club “welcomes non-coercive, culturally sensitive policies that will help lower birth rates, stabilize global population, and make a smaller population a realistic possibility.”
 
In 2007, an Australian academic argued  {READ THIS LINK!!!] that a government campaign to encourage bigger families was flying in the face of the fight against climate change.
 
Rather than offering couples financial incentives to have more children, he said, a tax should be levied on parents who have more than an agreed number of children, “in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle.”

To think that developing nations now have fertility rates which are below sustainable levels is a GOOD thing is only supported by the left loons in the Zero Population Movement.    Oh but wait – the executive director of the Sierra Movement, Carl Pope has served as political director for Zero Population Growth!  And he writes for the Huff Post.  Imagine that.  The self hating left can’t wait to off themselves to save the planet.  Every other creature on planet earth is tryign to perpetuate its species, but humans should hold off.  Its the most nihilistic thing I have ever seen.

And as an added bonus,in the category of sick, preverted, twisted use of totalitarianism, China spun its one child policy to get credit for REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES

 
The Chinese government, which enforces a controversial and often coercive birth limitation policy, has listed its population control efforts among its contributions to combating climate change
