Do children contribute to climate change? Try and picture Mirembe Brenda, the movie’s speccy, bookish protagonist, poring over a computer screen (if it’s sci-fi) or an ancient leatherbound tome (if it’s horror/fantasy) before explaining this inescapable and terrifying conclusion to the camera:
CHILDREN CONTRIBUTING TO CLIMATIC CHANGES? YOU COULD BE RIGHT.
HIGH BIRTH RATES =HIGH POPULATION
HIGH POPULATION=OVER EXPLOITATION OF EXISTING NATURAL RESOURCESEND RESULT IS NO RAINFALL ,DROUGHT, FAMINE AND FLOODS
YOUR RIGHT, THEY DO CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGESmirembe brenda, kampala
My God! We’ve got to get to a petting zoo. And fast!

Looks like Herod had the right idea after all.
You know, I think they could solve their overpopulation problem by promoting homosexuality.
Drought and floods? By God, these children are cunning devils.
This is making me wish I had read The Midwich Cuckoos, although it was the Kraken who changed the climate, to try and wipe us out.
Where have these children come from, and what do they want?
Surely, overpopulation leading to humanitarian crises, the increasingly rapid depletion of natural resources and the subsequent detrimental effects on the environment and climate isn’t a controversial new theory?
Admittedly, blaming climate change solely on children is a startling new way of looking at it, but the idea that overpopulation leads to humanitarian/environmental/climatic catastrophe is nothing new. And it’s very possible that Mirembe Brenda just didn’t know the right terms – perhaps English is his/her second language, so s/he was putting it clumsily. I don’t like the word or theory anyway – tends to be used by those who don’t see themselves and their families as part of the ‘problem.’
YOUR RIGHT =I CANT SEE ANY REASON TO MOCK THIS POST.
Nice.
The dilemma with most of these fucknuts is where to start mocking!!
Check it out – Dennis Junior is back with a bang:
shite – can one of the mods please sort out my blockquotes?
Mirembe may have received a first class education in Africa.
Mirembe might be just plain stupid.
To post something on HYS does suggest some mental abnormality.
EEuwuwwww! Imagine only having girls?
Who writes this crap?
She is right though.
Theodore: Agreed. I suppose it’s possible that Mirembe and many of the other HYS posters aren’t actually adults – God knows, half of them seem to have the mental age and education level of a backward six-year-old, so it’s often difficult to tell the adults apart from any children who might stray onto the site. I’ve noticed that many teenagers and Twitterfolk (who often seem to exhibit HYS-style room temperature IQs), even those whose first language is nominally English, have difficulties with distinguishing between when upper and lower case should be used, as well as with basic grammar and punctuation, including the massive overuse of exclamation marks.
Or maybe s/he is just a standard HYS idiot.
@ millie
WTF?
So you are saying that if I have 3 kids instead of one it will never rain again? and somehow there will be still be floods.
Maybe she means floods of tears…
brown town: I think s/he is talking about overpopulation on the global level and the depletion of resources leading to environmental and climatic problems that many believe could result from that – not just himself/herself, you, me or any other individual specifically.
Don’t worry, I’ve seen Avatar and James Cameron doesn’t flag up over-population as an eco-worry, so we can all relax. Bombing magical trees, however, is a serious concern. Why isn’t HYS asking people’s opinions on magical trees? Because it’s a ZaNuLieBore conspiracy, that’s why! Won’t somebody think of the magical trees (and children)?
PS Surely I’m not the only one who sees that her name is Brenda Mirembe and she’s just writing her surname first?
I don’t presume to speak for Alex here but I don’t think he’s saying she’s not right. I think what he’s poking fun at (hence the dramatic movie* setting) is the way she’s being all dramatic-revelationy over something that everyone already bloody knows. Or the way that her post effectively forms an argument with herself where she ends up agreeing with herself.
*I want to pretend it’s a Dan Brown movie but the dialogue is too well-written.
Can we have more cuntulents to laugh at, rather than semi-literate at-least-pointing-in-the-right-direction-even-if-they-don’t-express-it-very-well people to argue about?
No.
Oh, sorry Kelvin, was being dim. D’oh here.
If its posted on HYS its immediately a target. Plus, Mirembe Brenda’s style is less semi-literate, more like some bizarre high-level programing language. Sort of as if the HYS servers followed through on a fart.
Personally I blame semen and very poor disco lighting. That and Croydon.
Abstinence programmes seem to be doing a cracking job though.
Although probably not in this case but ‘overpopulation’ is generally HYS speak for ‘too many brown people’.
You know what,I blame the parents.Feckless parents bringing tribes of feckless children into the world, expecting state handouts, not working,Nuliabore,Gordon Brown,immigration etc, etc, etc, ……
Just trying to get into the mindset of the standard HYStwat,don’t try it folks, it really hurts, I carried out the experiment so you don’t have to.
Maybe I’m being pedantic (isn’t that the point though) but I thought it was funny the way mirembe leaps from stating the obvious to stating the nuts.
Even the most extreme w Internationalist reader wouldn’t suggest that overpopulation would “= NO RAINFALL”.
For that to happen the global temperature would have to change by quite a lot and if the world was hot/cold enough to stop the water cycle, a few brown people not having kids wont make much of a difference.
damn it, that was supposed to say “new internationalist”
Ok, she has conflated consumption of available resources with carbon-induced climate change and she has the prose style of a spambot, but they do have drought, famine and floods in Uganda. I think she can be excused for having only a vague sense of how they are related.
The HYS Africa team have been clever with this one. They have made it seem as though they wanted to elicit the various opinions around Africa regarding a problem which effects them disproportionately. In fact, they have devised a fiendish challenge for UK and US HYSers: They have the opportunity to nurture their inner eugenicist but to do so they must first acknowledge man-made climate change. The winning entry is from Exasperated Brit who resents everyone thinking he’s a cunt just because he’s a cunt:
‘mirembe brenda’ is commodore amiga speak from the 90s.
you’ve been had lads.
it even speaks like a basic program
I happen to know that the official language of Uganda is English, only you have to put it all in capitals to be understood.
