Cheryl comments that the following cannot be true:

"Earth's human population is over 10 times what is optimal"

Please show us why this cannot be true, including an analysis of sustainable carrying capacity, and thanks.

Rick, you're the one proposing to cull the population. Please show why Sustainable People should not be proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

Pretty typical, Cheryl, dodging the questions that you can’t answer. A simple “I don’t know” would have sufficed.

And gosh, Cheryl, saying that I am proposing to “cull the population” sounds a lot like histrionic and shrill overpopulation denial to me. I challenge you to find any post, or anywhere in the blogosphere, that I have specifically and personally proposed to “cull the population.” Will you rise to the challenge and admit that you were wrong, or will you in typical form dodge this challenge, and in so doing, demonstrate that you really are just a frothing extremist? Your choice, as always.

And please show me why the growthists, who are leading the destruction of the ecology of this planet, should not be charged as terrorists, individually and also by industry (city “planners,” the real estate industry, the land “development” agencies, and so on). Our children, and generations beyond that, will see them as the environmental terrorists that many of them truly are, while they lament the horrendous loss of other species that is happening right now.

By the way, what is “Sustainable People,” and where are they located?

Cheryl seems to be doing a lot of ranting and babbling about conspiracies to "cull" people, but she also appears to be about the only correspondent here to have suggested such a thing.

I think we should "cull" the strawmen from the population debate.
