The end of humanity? Some climate alarmists wish us all dead

What is the endgame of some extremists who believe in the threat of catastrophic, man-made climate change? The end of humanity.

In contrast, the founders of America operated out of a Judeo-Christian framework. The Bible was by far the most widely read and studied book during America's founding.

The framers declared that it is self-evident that we have been created equal and have been endowed by our Creator with certain key rights – first listed amongst them is the right to life.

But some of today's climate alarmists want to see a global change to pull the plug on that right – not just for our country, but basically for humankind. And they certainly want to put the kibosh on the biblical command to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth with humans.

Why do some climate alarmists essentially wish us all dead? Because they think people are bad for the earth. They don't believe in God. They claim to believe in science. But what is the evidence that people are supposedly bad for the earth?

The Atlantic recently had an article (January/February 2023 issue), focusing on the idea that some experts today are promoting human extinction, for the sake of the planet.

They write: "From Silicon Valley boardrooms to rural communes to academic philosophy departments, a seemingly inconceivable idea is being seriously discussed: that the end of humanity's reign on Earth is imminent and that we should welcome it. … It rejects humanity's traditional role as Earth's protagonist, the most important being in creation."

The article mentions "transhumanism," the idea that "the only way forward for humanity is to create new forms of intelligent life that will no longer be Homo sapiens."

As noted, this contrasts sharply with the biblical command that humanity should be fruitful and multiply. Argue the "experts" quoted in The Atlantic: "But if being fruitful and multiplying starts to be seen as itself a form of killing, because it deprives future generations and other species of irreplaceable resources, then the flourishing of humanity can no longer be seen as simply good."

The New York Times features an article on a 75-year-old man who promotes a similar message: "Earth Now Has 8 Billion Humans. This Man Wishes There Were None."

The Times reports: "For the sake of the planet, Les Knight, the founder of the Voluntary Human Extinction movement, has spent decades pushing one message: 'May we live long and die out.'"

Knight often spreads the message, "Thank you for not breeding."

The story adds, "Mr. Knight is among those who believe that overpopulation is a main factor in the climate crisis." The article notes that "a 2020 poll found that one in four Americans who had not had children cited climate change as a reason."

Ideas have consequences. What begins as a discussion of hypotheticals in the faculty lounge may eventually become policy somewhere. These are worldviews in conflict.

I remember years ago, one Christian speaker made this observation:

I reached out to author Wesley J. Smith, the chair of the Discovery Institute's Center for Human Exceptionalism, for a comment on this idea. He told me, "The Human Extinction Movement is a form of nature worship, expressing the belief that the world will be pristine without us. But why will that matter? No one will be around capable of appreciating nature's wonder."

I also asked for a reply from Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, the president of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, a major critic of the unproven hypothesis of man-made, catastrophic climate change.

Beisner noted, "The proposal is absurdity in the extreme. Even the scenarios for the future in the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's scientific reports, exaggerated as they are, don't depict human-induced global warming as an existential threat or even a great crisis. Such claims come only from the U.N.'s and various nations' political leaders, environmental activists, and the mainstream media."

And he added, "The hope for human extinction is nothing more than anti-human. Christians, who recognize that people are the image of God, will recognize it as attacking God in effigy."

Beginning with a dubious premise, the alarmists have reached a dubious conclusion. This relatively new push for no more humans reminds me of the verse in the Bible where God's wisdom says, "All who hate me love death."
