One of the largest environmentalist groups in the world suggested that Senate Democrats taking to the floor on Monday night to decry the scourge of global warming should consider the many upsides of population control.
The Sierra Club’s official Twitter account wrote on Monday evening:
Thank you to the Senators standing up for climate action tonight. #FamilyPlanning can help fight #climate change, too http://t.co/8OR4IQHtFk

The tweet linked to a Sierra Club page listing "five ways to stabilize population growth."
A handful of Democrats plan to speak on the Senate floor through the night about the immediate need to reduce the earth’s temperature through federal legislation.
