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?

YOUR RIGHT =I CANT SEE ANY REASON TO MOCK THIS POST.

I happen to know that the official language of Uganda is English, only you have to put it all in capitals to be understood.

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:

“Africans should decide the number of children to have”.

No problem, as long as I am not expected to put my hand in my pocket at the first sight of a charity box to feed starving children in Africa.

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.

Although probably not in this case but ‘overpopulation’ is generally HYS speak for ‘too many brown people’.

Personally I blame semen and very poor disco lighting. That and Croydon.

Abstinence programmes seem to be doing a cracking job though.

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?

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.
