The state of (radical) environmentalism today
Incredible article in Citizen Scientist titled "Meet Dr. Doom." This is not an opinion that is as off-the-mainstream as you may initially think and, sadly, this is not the first time I have heard or read these whackos make suggestions like these. They are the modern offshot of the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century and of the Nazis and Communists, specialists in mass murder on a global scale.
AIDS is not an efficient killer, he explained, because it is too slow. His favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population is airborne Ebola ( Ebola Reston ), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. However, Professor Pianka did not mention that Ebola victims die a slow and torturous death as the virus initiates a cascade of biological calamities inside the victim that eventually liquefy the internal organs.
After praising the Ebola virus for its efficiency at killing, Pianka paused, leaned over the lectern, looked at us and carefully said, “We've got airborne 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that.”
With his slide of human skulls towering on the screen behind him, Professor Pianka was deadly serious. The audience that had been applauding some of his statements now sat silent.
After a dramatic pause, Pianka returned to politics and environmentalism. But he revisited his call for mass death when he reflected on the oil situation.
“And the fossil fuels are running out,” he said, “so I think we may have to cut back to two billion, which would be about one-third as many people.” So the oil crisis alone may require eliminating two-third's of the world's population.
How soon must the mass dying begin if Earth is to be saved? Apparently fairly soon, for Pianka suggested he might be around when the killer disease goes to work. He was born in 1939, and his lengthy obituary appears on his web site .
When Pianka finished his remarks, the audience applauded. It wasn't merely a smattering of polite clapping that audiences diplomatically reserve for poor or boring speakers. It was a loud, vigorous and enthusiastic applause.
We can only hope the good doctor contracts the very disease he wishes on the rest of us "useless eaters."
Dear Dr. Pianka:
You first.
I'm assuming he'd be one of the 10% that survives.
This is one sick f-ck. I wonder if Castro would like him?
This guy is sick. And this is what UT students/parents/taxpayers pay for! If I were a parent, I'd be demanding my UT child to transfer to A&M, college rivalry or not.
I hope there's enough outrage in the TX legislature and in the rest of the TX population in general to send s strong message to this state's Ward Churchill...
The scary part is that there is no outrage. You'd think a nutjob like this would be relegated to obscurity, but the exact opposite appears to be the case. When you click the link to the student evaluations, you find most students saying he's the best professor they've ever had, with some saying they love and worship him. And the state must be fond of him also since he was named Texas Scientist of the year for 2006.
I wonder if any other species actively seeks ways to destroy 90% of its population to 'save the Earth,' like (some) humans do.
These "people," if they deserve the title, beginning with Dr. "Pianka-Mengele," which is what he should change his surname to, are nothing more than New Age nazis and must be dealt with, eventually, no differently than Old Age nazis should have been dealt with before they unleashed their wave of death and destruction. Suggestion, and for once to use one of the radical left's own tools against one of their own: find a way to charge him and his followers with hate-speech violations and use that to begin openly exposing them and their satanic ideology.
It turns out that the guy who reported this, Forrest Mims got it wrong. While Pianka is a "sky is falling environmentalist he is no Unibomber and Mims has poor listening skills.
Well, I think he should start as an example of his ideas, like inoculing himself with the virus.
