Swedish Scientist Proposes Cannibalism to Fight Climate Change

CHRIS TOMLINSON
6 Sep 2019

Swedish behavioural scientist Magnus Söderlund has suggested that eating other people after they die could be a means of combatting climate change.

The scientist mentioned the possibility of cannibalism during a broadcast on Swedish television channel TV4 this week about a fair in Stockholm regarding “food of the future”.

Söderlund is set to hold seminars at the event, entitled “Gastro Summit — about the future of food” where he intends to discuss the possibility of eating people in the name of cutting down greenhouse emissions.
According to his research, the main problem with the idea is the widespread taboo of eating human flesh and said that conservative attitudes could make it hard to convince Swedes at large to take up the practice of cannibalism.

I think on some level we all suspected it was only a matter of time before a climate fanatic seriously suggested such perversion.

I can understand someone in extreme circumstances making an impossible choice, like the survivors of Flight 571 which crashed on an ice field in the Andes. But to suggest that cannibalism is something the world should seriously consider, as just another conservation measure; how has the world come to this?

It really is look up to the stars, or end up on the menu.

We, humans, have always looked up, from the earliest times for open ocean navigation, to Apollo, and now Artemis.

Except in extreme circumstances, I can think of few things more depraved and repulsive than cannibalism.

Is it true that “The Onion” is closing down because they can no longer compete with the real world?

Come to think of it, what really is in “Swedish meatballs”? But seriously, the idea that “the ends justify the means” is part and parcel to the Warmunist ideology. No idea, no matter how grotesque, or how morally decadent is wrong if it serves the “saving the planet” ideology.

Cannibalism is not the answer – the way to eliminate climate dissenters is to blow them up.

Kuru was probably caused by manganese oxide ash from a local volcanic eruption contaminating their food.

Nope. It is not confined to PNG.

Are they running out of food in Sweden? Why would this guy suggest eating humans when there is plenty of other food to eat at the present time?

As soon as enough coal-fired powerplants are built to bring the underdeveloped nations up to the standards of the developed nations, the world population will stabilize and then start to decline, so we should have plenty of food for everyone.

Unless, of course, the Earth starts drastically cooling. Then there might be problems feeding everyone. Perhaps that is what scientist Magnus Söderlund is anticipating.

If Earth’s climate stays reasonably warm, humans will be able to feed themselves without resorting to drastic measures.

The Socialists here got rid of the food reserve several decades ago. Is it a coincident that canned food can’t be stored as long as it used to be? Doubt it. However, it is no coincidence that both the Swedish military and civil defense have been successively dismantled and now not much left. The Socialists are behind most of major reforms, no surprise …

O.T. Did anyone notice that the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margot Wallström, finally had to step down? They might be celebrating in Israel right now … Her greatest merit as a minister was the #8 pos. on the Simon Wiesenthal top ten list of anti-semitic/ anti-Israel activity 2016.

Oh. The original article was about synthetically manufactured animal meat, which is apparently now a reality. I guess that concept isn’t edgy enough for a total nihilist.

A product for a practice which is technically cannibalism (i.e. consumption of human flesh). This covers similar ground as the current practice of selective and recycled-child under reproductive rites (“planned parenthood”), except selective-child deals in aborted human lives rather than synthesized clumps of human cells. The reality is worse than the fiction.

Even if the idea of cannibalism wasn’t absolutely abhorrent, haven’t these people ever heard of prion disease?

Neo-cannibalism not only promoted by a Swedish professor but also Swedish state television:

SVT aired on September 3 a TV show called “Ask Lund” where distinguished academics and professors answer scientific questions. The question of cannibalism was brought up, and a reporter asked people on the street what part of the body they would prefer to eat if they had to…later they discussed details about human flesh.

Bizarre!

Groupthink is a powerful force. It causes people to do really stupid things sometimes.

Interesting. A high profile Catholic makes some questionable comments on climate change and the usual suspects go completely overboard with their comments about religion, especially the Catholic Church. But when a high profile atheist makes some weird comments the words ‘atheist’ or ‘atheism’ are (so far) completely absent.

Human meat has a sweet taste. It’s sometimes called “long pig” on the menu in places like Fiji.

Hopefully the cannibals are forward thinking, I mean, you do need to grow new crops.

I give up!
For years I have been mocking Green/ Left journalists and politicians by saying, “If Labor/ Greens advocated Cannibalism, this bloke would fine cogent reasons for it!”
And now this.

There are moments when I think I have seen the deepest ends of human depravity and then something comes and shatters it. Of course, this is not new. And it’s not the worst we have seen. There are individuals out there that so sick, it defies even the most imaginative of minds. But that a movement – as massive as the current climate scare is – goes down to propose this sick crap busts a cap with me. But no – we had crap like this already right here where I live. The Nazis did not eat human flesh (at least not that I am aware off) but they reused human products such as hair harvested from the millions they murdered. The Climate Fanatics and the Nazi butchers seem to have more in common than meets the eye. Beware …

Human meat is not solution. Its just Illuminati asshole system new step towards Hell. like drugs and euthanasy and so on they want murder ppl for get more space. They dont care climate they care just their power and ideology. all cow fart ideas are crazy and real climate solutions dont sre that like. lies lies and lies. believe more sheeps!

This idea would allow Sweden to kill two birds with one stone, as it were. Sweden has a migrant crime problem, Sweden is worried about climate crisis and believes eating the dead will solve it. So kill all the migrants and eat them, problem solved. There may be some question as to whether the meat is Halal, but not for too long.

Swedish meat balls anyone ?
I think there is time to make the cannibalism proposal a key election plank in
the new USA Greenocrat Party platform . Hey why not make proper use of all those oil and gas executives they plan to hang ? A recycling program and a skip the dish option .
