Some random professor with too much time on his hands:

“Every newborn baby in Australia represents a potent source of greenhouse gas emissions for an average of 80 years, … a ‘baby levy’ in the form of a carbon tax should apply, in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle.”

mmm we’ll have to stop at two then :-) Don’t you just love the Internet where we can all have an opinion, no matter how outlandishly obsurd.
