Rainbow Six Redux

[XMan]

Sea Shepherd founder says mankind is a 'virus' and we need to 're-wild the planet.'

If you remember the book Rainbow Six, eco-terrorists engineered an Ebola virus, and a cure, and planned to release it at the Olympics, and bring the Earth back to a pre-human stage.

I thought it was a bit far-fetched at the time, but what do you know . . .

Why doesn't that guy lead by example, and kill himself??

Because like most people leading the charge on controversial topics that require action by the majority which they themselves dont want to participate in, they are hypcrites.

"No human community should be larger than 20,000 people and separated from other communities by wilderness areas."

If "human communities" were no larger than 20K people, where exactly do you think he intends to put the billion or more people who live in urban areas around the globe?

First you need to learn to read, then you need to learn to extract information from the words.

That wouldn't require killing anyone. Rather very strict birth control.

Ok we will play a fun little game of hot potatoe with a nuclear missile, whichever country loses, gets wiped off the face of the Earth...

Obviously people are injecting their own violence and hatred into what this man has said.

The population can be reduced over large time periods by producing smaller numbers of offspring.

Not that I agree with him, but I am all for reading comprehension.

Then you might want to show some 🙂

"Curing a body of cancer requires radical and invasive therapy, and therefore, curing the biosphere of the human virus will also require a radical and invasive approach "

Radical and invasive doesn't sound like 'reduced over large time periods'

"Paul Watson is one of the fathers of environmental terrorism. The group he founded and leads, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), is a pirate organization that sails around the world, terrorizing fishermen. Wearing a long bowie knife and carrying AK-47s on board, he threatens to ram any ship that won?t give in to his demands. Watson was a founder of Greenpeace, but the group banished him in 1977 in disapproval of his violent tactics. He is a board member of the Sierra Club. "

We are the violent ones?

"Watson is a misanthrope who has said that ?earthworms are far more valuable than people.? Perhaps that explains why he has started the careers of some of the most violent animal-rights activists. SHAC terrorists Rodney Coronado and Joshua Harper have both served as crewmembers on SSCS expeditions. "

Maybe you should look into EarthFirst and other violent eco-terror groups before commenting further.

As to his thoughts, he's missing the boat. All of the eco-folks should be pushing hard and fast for viable ways to get off this rock. Hard to screw up Mars climate (albeit when we try some folks are going to demmand we stay hands off, ala Red Mars/Blue Mars)....
