No, the writer of the column's point was that they are one demographic in this country that are still having large families. Most are not.

That’s not it. It was an MC OpEd from a couple of weeks ago. His view was that population changes are going to have a greater impact on the world this century rather than climate change. I’ll try to find it this morning if I have a minute.Was this it?

A very politically charged statement. Will be interesting to see how they quantify that considering climate change is already a significant driver of of migration and population changes in South America, and could potentially cause hundreds of millions of people to be displaced worldwide within this century.
I don't see how an opinion piece on projected birth rates by continents and demographics and major population shifts can be politically charged, but you do you. I could not find the piece as the paper only saves about a weeks worth of OpEd's.
An opinion piece, is the last time I checked "an opinion". The writer did point to stats to support the birth rate/migration projections which were quite fascinating and supported his opinion. His comment about the Amish was symbolic and tongue in cheek.
That part alone doesn't seem to be.
Suggesting it will be more impactful than impacts of climate change does. It seems odd to compare the impact of each in terms of what would have a greater impact which is why I was wondering how that was quantified.
Why is it odd? He was comparing birth/rates and population shifts which are projected to be dramatic to another major long term issue that most everyone can relate.
Climate change is something that most everyone can relate to and not a highly polarizing political issue, of which the impacts are constantly debated and overstated by alarmists and understated by skeptics?
News to me.
But it's an issue that gets a lot of attention and press regarding the potential impact. That's the comparison he was trying to make.
Right... a politically charged statement...
Like I said, if you happen to find it, I would be interested to read it. Not much more else to say without the context.
You've said a lot considering you have no idea what was in his editorial...lol
It was not politically charged as much as you want it to be.
You are the search wizard, so go ahead and try to find it in the Morning Call archives. I already did and couldn't.
Any more to go on than "Climate change" "population" and "Amish"?
Author name? Title? Maybe a phrase or two?
Something about population changes posing a greater threat to our future. I read a lot of stuff that I find interesting...I don't remember all the authors or the titles.
It was Five Rules for an Aging Population by Ross Douthat.

Why demography may be shaping up to be a bigger risk to the world than climate change.
He doesn't view climate change as being a large risk fwiw.
So take it up with him. This is his opinion.It was Five Rules for an Aging Population by Ross Douthat.

To say it’s “politically charged” is just silly.

Of course it was... That was his intention of bringing up climate change. He didn't discuss it anywhere else other than to say all of you people who believe climate change is the most pressing issue are wrong.
HIs point about Africa's population is a good point "The movement of even a fraction of this population will probably be the 21st century’s most significant global transformation. And the balance between successful assimilation on the one hand, and destabilization and backlash on the other, will help decide whether the age of demographic decline ends in revitalization or collapse."
I wonder what that looks like for example if the earth has warmed by 3-4 degrees with severe droughts and not nearly enough of a food supply for that increased population vs a more manageable increase of 1-2 degrees.
Chicken or the egg there. Would it be the population growth that will cause the destabilization, or would it be it the population growth in the context of Africa becoming less habitable.
and you don't need to take offense that I disagree with him.
This is a discussion board. Obviously, my views on climate change have been established here so you could guess where I would land on that.
Don’t get your panties in a bunch (Note to self: I owe cern a royalty payment),,,
Wonder all you want. Submit your thoughts to the NYT. Your opinion is that it’s “politically charged”. Looks to me like he’s being provocative and raises some interesting issues about population changes that few are paying attention.
You can return to your personal echo chamber now.
Climate alarmism is 'robbing' students of hope, ambition, earth science professor says
Geological sciences professor, Dr. Matthew Wielicki, said adults pushing climate catastrophism are “robbing" young Americans of their "ambition and their hope.”
"Return to your echo chamber"... please...You post about something here, I try to actually discuss what it said with someone who would disagree with me and I'm in the echo chamber? Not my fault you won't commit to actually having your own opinion.
Not sure why I keep giving you the benefit of the doubt expecting you would actually discuss something. Was even letting that last blatantly made up story slide.. but I'm done. You don't discuss things here in good faith so I won't bother anymore.
Lol…discuss what? I referred to an OpEd that raised an interesting view about projected population growth and birth rates and you went off on how it was “politically charged”. That’s a discussion??
Now you want to take your ball and go home…go look up the definition of “good faith” and get back to me.

I lived in Sussex County and it’s safe to say that this guy is an extreme left outlier.
The people there actually have common sense, see the real coup taking place in our Fed Govt and are patriotic.
Not worth my time replying to his ignorance
