In the 1990s, at least one public environmentalist became even more radically anti-copulation, bordering on radical [[volcel]]dom. A member of Zero Population Growth named Les Knight launched the ''Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT)'' with the goal of “Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed”. He launched a 1996 website explaining his goals.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/14/anti-natalists-childfree-population-climate-change</ref> | In the 1990s, at least one public environmentalist became even more radically anti-copulation, bordering on radical [[volcel]]dom.

Until the 1990s, environmentalism was mainly a bipartisan concern. Republicans Richard Nixon (EPA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, etc.)<ref>https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2010/06/providing-americans-clean-air-and-water/</ref> and Theodore Roosevelt (U.S Forest Service, etc.) passed the most comprehensive environmental bills of our time with broad bipartisan congressional support. Other notable conservatives who spoke in favor of environmentalism include Margret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, William Ruckelshaus, Patrick Moore (Greenpeace co-founder), Gifford Pinchot, Russell Train, and Sherwood Boehlert.<ref>https://www.acc.eco/blog/2018/10/11/the-top-eleven-american-conservative-leaders-who-embraced-environmentalism</ref> | Until the 1990s, environmentalism was mainly a bipartisan concern.

Growth is synonymous with carbon emissions and environmental degradation until cleaner energy sources are deployed/discovered or ways of consuming less, which is aggravated by the fact that women prefer men who consume a lot.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_are_1.2C000x_more_sensitive_than_men_to_economic_status_cues_when_rating_attractiveness</ref> | Growth is synonymous with carbon emissions and environmental degradation until cleaner energy sources are deployed/discovered or ways of consuming less, which is aggravated by the fact that women prefer men who consume a lot.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_are_1.2C000x_more_sensitive_than_men_to_economic_status_cues_when_rating_attractiveness</ref> | ||
