Do WHAT to save the Earth?
There is so much material in this story (H/T Freedom Dogs and Michelle Malkin)....where to begin....
"Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth.
Watson’s May 4 editorial asked the question “The Beginning of the End for Life as We Know it on Planet Earth?” Then he left no doubt about the answer. “We are killing our host the planet Earth,” he claimed and called for a population drop to less than 1 billion."
OK - do the math here. 5.5 billion people on earth now and this "person" wants to bring the total population down to 1 billion? And what are we supposed to do with the other 4.5 billion people? But wait....there's more!
"Watson urged some solutions for mankind as part of a process to “need to re-wild the planet”:
· “No human community should be larger than 20,000 people and separated from other communities by wilderness areas.” New York, London, Paris, Moscow are all too big. Then again, so are Moose Jaw, Timbuktu and even Annapolis, Md.
· “We need vast areas of the planet where humans do not live at all and where other species are free to evolve without human interference.”
· “We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.”
· “Sea transportation should be by sail. The big clippers were the finest ships ever built and sufficient to our needs. Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.”
· At least Watson was generous and said people could still talk with one another across great distances. “Communication systems can link the communities,” he proclaimed from on high.
The Watson rant kept on going calling for everything from cutting down on the population of domesticated dogs and cats to cutting down on everything else in what he called “simplify, simplify, simplify.”
Watson essentially called for humans to return to primitive lifestyles. “We need to stop flying, stop driving cars, and jetting around on marine recreational vehicles. The Mennonites survive without cars and so can the rest of us.”
And just to make sure that we control population, having children could become criminalized!
"HAVING large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanour in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a 4x4 car and failing to reuse plastic bags, according to a report to be published tomorrow by a green think tank. "
I suppose that these guys have not seen the statistics that show the British birth rate is a staggering 1.7 and the EU's is 1.5. That means the average British family has 1.7 children - the average EU family has 1.5 children.
And they wonder why people like Rush call them "enviro-nutters"! Criminalizing child birth or frequent long-haul flights? Did they have this man in mind when they said that? I'm just wondering.....

Only one reply is possible to his call for a massive population reduction: YOU FIRST!

No one, and thus the problem will have been fully resolved. We wouldn't notice, if there was no one to "point with alarm."
On a more serious note, I think it's time we started attacking these global warming alarmists for their highly IMmoral actions. They are essentially condemning the third world-- real people, millions of them-- to disease, starvation and death, in order to "save the planet." I've seen them and heard them. Al Gore and his ilk want to prevent them from the economic development which would literally save their lives. Radical environmentalism has already killed millions. How many more have to die?
