Yeah, Treehugger again. I have NO idea what I said that would be an affront to these socialistic/communitarian (and let’s not forget that in every Socialist, there is a much worse Totalitarian yearning to get out – like in the movie Aliens) environmentalists. It seemed to be a hum-drum enough post (“Air pollution is hurting human procreation“, reformatted):
It distorts sperm, makes it harder to get pregnant, and can lead to premature births and low birth weights — yet another reason why cars and humans don’t mix well. Air pollution has become the world’s single largest environmental health risk, and scientists say it causes more than 3.7 million premature deaths per year (data from 2012). But what does air pollution do to unborn children? Or even to those parents who are trying to get pregnant? New research shows it’s having a seriously detrimental effect.
Problems start with a man’s sperm. In a study titled, “Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter and semen quality in Taiwan,” researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong examined 6,475 men between the ages of 14 and 49 and found that the more air pollution a man is exposed to, the greater his risk of having irregularly shaped and smaller sperm. Most of the participants did not smoke and had less than one alcoholic drink per week.
And of course, the obligatory (for them) WE HATE CARS!!!
So, not only do the high numbers of fast-driving cars on our streets and highways kill humans at shocking rates, but now we have evidence of their poisonous effect on humans, even before they’re out of the womb. Surely it’s time to take Lloyd’s suggestion to ban cars seriously. They do not belong in our cities.
Actually, they want to ban all cars all over forever. They’ll allow us to have cars the size of SmartCars (tin cans, couple of wheels) but they’d rather us all be in high density cities buying our food every day (you don’t NEED a regular size fridge – dorm size is good enough!). But that wasn’t what got me into trouble. You see, they also have the expected (and stereotypical anti-human race) commenters there as well. Like this one (emphasis mine):

If humans become sterile, its great!!! However, what is happening is more and more sick kids needing more and more services for life straining scarcer resources during time of an ignorant rw denialist antiscience zealot along with zeitgeist of ‘fetus zygote sperm embryo r people!!’ dark ages movement invented by the same denialist anti-human ruling party
I TRIED to be nice – I really did!

Look – another happy camper!
And then I guess I let the cat out of the bag (did you know that we humans aren’t supposed to “oppress” any animals – how DARE we think of ourselves as their “owners and masters” – you species bigots!!):

No, he is spot on, we already have way too many people, most of which the world would be better off without, harsh as that sounds, but it’s true.
Yes, I could not help myself – with the expected results:

“Harsh as that sounds”.It’s always a good thing for those of us on the “other side” when the Environmental Death Cult shows up – it shows how unserious the movement is. After all, none never seem to want to lead by example if the problem truly really is too many people – they always wish to have others bear the burden instead of “going first”.
And yes, if you go over to see what other fallout happened, well, you can guess what happened to that comment (yes, I was expecting it so I saved the page).
Well, aren’t they?
