Another reason not to buy the New York Times, from editorial board member Verlyn Klinkenborg:
If you'd like to know how your "eco-soul" is faring, the taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation has created "Professor Schpinkee's Greenhouse Calculator", designed to tell children "when they should die", based on how they use "their share" of the planet. As the instructions originally explained:
The average Australian, according to their calculator, should be put into the Carousel from Logan's Run at age nine, although I would've been near my tenth birthday before the Green Death Squads came for me in the night. In fact, getting the stupid thing to allow you to live to thirty, like the people in that movie, is no small feat, even if you agree to become a vegetarian, wear secondhand clothing, and pay extra from a minimum wage income for "green electricity".

When you're done, click on the [skull and crossbones] to find out what age you should die at so you don't use more than your fair share of Earth's resources!They've since been softened, because the freaks behind this were apparently oblivious to the problem with urging children to suicide.
