The result, due to the societal preference for males to carry on the family name, was to kill or abort female children and fetuses. Societal and religious teachings and prejudices make the voluntary limiting of births a virtual impossibility. Next time you see a show and someone is introduced and they proudly say they have 6 kids, 24 grand kids, they are the face of the problem. To paraphrase from Jesus, " forgive them for they probably don't know what they have done".

Does that extinguish the phrase from GOD "Be Fruitful and Multiply" ??? I believe you mistakenly "paraphrased Jesus" when he was speaking of the elimination of a life, not the reproduction of life. I do not remember a scripture that assumed that GOD (Jesus) would be disappointed in reproduction. Personally, and only my opinion, but I don't see how the world population has made any changes in Climate Change.
