Why doesn't Attenborough lead by example and off himself?

Great article exposing the truth, by the way.

This guy must have finally gotten around to reading those “Population Bomb” books from the 1960’s.

A good example is naturalist David Attenborough, who recently complained that man is a plague upon our planet.

This entire viewpoint starts from a false premise (which is typical of leftwing "thinking"): that the Earth, in of itself, has value. The proper viewpoint is to realize that the Earth has NO value, except in what it can produce and support. In other words, the Earth's value can only be measured in terms of how well it supports its living species. Since mankind is the apex species on the planet, the Earth's greatest value is derived from supporting us.

Now, obviously, if we're smart, we'll recognize that we have to make certain limitations on our use of the planet in order for it to remain a habitable life-support system for us (don't eat the seedcorn, and all that), but the very idea that a spinning ball of rock in space has more value that the complex life that lives on it is so asinine and self-loathing that it could only be entertained by a brain-addled product of leftist indoctrination. Nobody gives a damn about global warming on Venus, because nothing lives there (that we know of). Likewise, if nothing lived on Earth, we wouldn't care how much sewage ran through the rivers. We only care because of the life that Earth supports, and humans are the apex life form. Humans are not a plague on the Earth - humans are the SOLE REASON for Earth to exist (and maybe cockroaches, after we all perish in nuclear hellfire).

In other words, go screw yourself, David Attenborough. If you're worried about over-population, kill yourself.

Besides himself Attenborough should convince Price Charles and Al Gore to off themselves too.
