[QUOTE="infoterror:402917"]more linkage A highly regarded figure in the science community, Pianka is no stranger to crowded rooms and eager listeners. With 38 years of teaching, writing and speaking about his extensive research, there’s little wonder why. “I’m up to my eyeballs in reporters,” he said, referring to public outcry in wake of what he calls his “doomsday talk” — a lecture in which Pianka confidently predicts 90 percent of humanity is on an irreversible path to death in the not-so-distant future. http://www.seguingazette.com/story.lasso?ewcd=bb5a122cfbeab898&page=all In his estimation, "We've grown fat, apathetic and miserable," all the while leaving the planet parched. The solution? A 90 percent reduction. http://story.seguingazette.com/drudge.html But there was a gravely disturbing side to that otherwise scientifically significant meeting, for I watched in amazement as a few hundred members of the Texas Academy of Science rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation to a speech that enthusiastically advocated the elimination of 90 percent of Earth's population by airborne Ebola. The speech was given by Dr. Eric R. Pianka (Fig. 1), the University of Texas evolutionary ecologist and lizard expert who the Academy named the 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist. Pianka then began laying out his concerns about how human overpopulation is ruining the Earth. He presented a doomsday scenario in which he claimed that the sharp increase in human population since the beginning of the industrial age is devastating the planet. He warned that quick steps must be taken to restore the planet before it's too late. http://www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIssues_2006/2006-04-07/feature1p/index.html [ This is all obvious: for us to have a nice quality of life, we need a half billion people on the planet. No one wanted to stop the profit from new people though, because our economy is a giant Ponzi scheme dependent on new mouths. So we overgrew, and now, we've created a taboo about discussing this issue because we fear instability. All lies, and until we fix it, our doom is assured. ] [/QUOTE]
