Eco-extremist Wants World Population To Drop Below 1 Billion

Quote: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.

The commentary reminded readers that Watson had called humans a disease before and he wasn’t sorry. “I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the ‘AIDS of the Earth.’ I make no apologies for that statement,” the column continued.

Watson was invoking the worst of Robert Malthus, an English political economist who claimed that mankind was overpopulating the earth. That claimed first appeared in the late 1700s. 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.”

This is all about the new global warming religion IMO. If you don't believe us humans are hurting "Mother Earth" you will be labeled as a heretic.

i don't disagree that we're acting like a virus at all and your just plain ignorant
if you can't see we're harming the planet extremely in many different ways.
i too believe that there are way too many people to be doing the things we
do, we are killing more and more of the planet to support everyone.

though i don't think people should be killed off...i think people need to
stop fucking! lol.

once we get our shit right (lots of different things) to the point that we can
support everyone without much trouble, but i honestly never see that
happening...we're way off right now.

i'm tired of people always relating pollution to politics, it's fucking stupid.
it's just not about global warming (natural or unatural), it's about
pollution in general. the earth heating up isn't the only disaster to
be worried about.

I'm with Ctrl, fuck this closet Eugenicist let him start with himself and his family. I'm thoroughly sick of these effete population control freaks with their veiled racist agendas. They can walk straight over the lip of the nearest volcano, or have their remains turned into mulch, and that way there could be minimal impact on the environment. It's win, win however you look at it.

Why do these naturalists always demand on separating humanity from nature? Why should we have to leave vast amounts of land undisturbed between our small communities. Why should we leave animals to evolve on their own? They never left us alone did they? I think some people put humans up on a pedestal.

For instance many animals have evolved to living next to us both in harmony and as pests. Why is this a problem?

We should stop polluting and lower our impact ecologically, but we should never stop interacting with nature. It is our habitat too after all. Just because it happens to be other animals habitats doesn't change that fact.

LMAO. As I was reading the article I was thinking,"You first, bitch".

[rockclimber]

Yep, them first. I do my part to the best of my ability to respect my environment so I don't feel I need to go. They must feel guilty because they are hypocrites. Just like those who want to deny Africa energy while living in plush homes, driving plush cars, while the African's get shacks and flies.

All of you with a guilty conscience, jump on the 1-billion goal and become martyrs for mother gaia, otherwise, if you love your fellow humans, look for better ways to do things and STFU.

I get the feeling that they want us to be first because I don't see any martyrs thus far. Otherwise, let me reiterate, STFU hypocrites

Well, if the honey bee keeps going down these people are going to get their wish. It wont be the end of man, but it sure as hell will be the end of the level of population we have.
