On 26 of April 2012, John Vidal said this in The Guardian:
Cut world population and redistribute resources, expert urges | Environment | guardian.co.ukThe world's most renowned population analyst has called for a massive reduction in the number of humans...
Paul Ehrlich, Bing professor of population studies at Stanford University in California and author of the best-selling Population Bomb book in 1968, goes much further than the Royal Society in London which this morning said that physical numbers were as important as the amount of natural resources consumed.
The Guardian quoted Ehrlich thus:
That a prediction, Prof?If we go on at the pace we are THERE'S GOING TO BE VARIOUS FORMS OF DISASTER.
Or THE PLAN?
Sounds like THE plan to me.The more people you have the greater the chance of some weird virus transferring from animal to human populations, THERE COULD BE A VAST DIE-OFF.
In which case, Prof, can we start with your own grandkids?WE HAVE TO HUMANELY AND AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE MOVE TO POPULATION SHRINKAGE.
Let's have the nuts off them first, eh? You know, just to show that what's good for us no-account geese is just as acceptible to the Professorial gander.
Then, if you could get your own tribe to do a bit of shrinking first? Oh yes, when your lot, the West Indies, Africa, China, South America, the Indian subcontinent and Islam have cast off 80 per cent of the whole, maybe the rest of us will have a little think about doing the same.
That's fair, isn't it?
Paul Ehrlich is Jewish.
