Hi again Ateday,
I guess you and your friends have already discussed the preliminaries of how to go about reducing the world's population by 95 %, in between spirited discussions about kitchen design and the best 4WD to pick your kids up from their private school. But please let me map out a plan (you can tweek the details of course): * Seize world power; * Year One: set up extermination centres across the world - after all, 95 % of the world's population would now be over seven billion, and to exterminate that many in, say, five years, requires some careful planning: that's 1,400 million each year, or 120 million per month, or four million per day, and you can't do that with just a handful of crematoria); * Year Two to Six: commence Cleansing. * Year Seven: Assess the benefits of successful WPR from the comfort of your new kitchen, invite friends over to share a brilliant 2011 Marlborough Chardonnay, and discuss the latest curtain fabrics. Isn't it fascinating how ALL Utopias degenerate into fascism ? If you're not on the winning side, that is. Joe www.firstsources.info Posted by Loudmouth, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 12:14:53 PM

explains why Green ideology/religion is not really any different from that of Isis. They just like to sanitise their 'killing'.

What an excellent article, Don.
Thank you. Yes, the original sources may be obscure and whther completely correctly captured or not, I expect in most cases their meaning was pretty much as quoted. I note you missed two really important ones (I'm paraphrasing from memory): 1, James Hansen (so called father of AGW), claimed in his book "Storms of our Grandchildren" that the oceans will boil off and we'll get an atmosphere lie Venus if we continue burning fossil fuels (or something like that); 2. Greens Senator Whish-Wilson justified Islamic state terrorism saying they were, arguably, the equivalent of our soldiers (or words to that effect): http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2014/09/greens-senator-is-worried-we-might-be-demonising-the-death-cult-islamists-in-iraq-and-syria.html Posted by Peter Lang, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 12:39:25 PM

Hi Loudmouth,

It is truly hard to understand, in a world where the Human population has grown from around 1 million to 7 billion in 10,000 years, where we are rapidly outgrowing essential resources (phosphate, fresh water...) that anyone could deny we have a population problem.
Before AdrianM and Loudmouth jump into their non sequiturs, there is of course a very humane, very effective and very well proven method of reducing the population: Eliminate poverty. Every country on Earth that has achieved a high standard of living, low infant mortality rate and universal FREE education has seen significant drops in birth rates, even negative natural growth rates. Indeed, one country very close to here actually pays people to have children! The yeast organism (of which I am inordinately fond) is so brainless, it keeps on multiplyng and consuming all available food until the entire population -very conveniently- drowns in it's own alcoholic excrement. One would hope Humanity could prove to be just a little smarter. Posted by Grim, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 12:53:04 PM

Of course there is not - you have chosen to repeat (whether misquoted or paraphrased or just made up) those things attributed to these people which aren't about climate science. To suggest that John Houghton and Stephen Schneider haven't said a very great deal about climate science is ridiculous.
