Al Gore is not the only environmental extremist who would welcome a dramatic population reduction. It’s a surprisingly widespread view among his sort.
Although they would welcome dramatic population reduction, I cannot imagine even the enviro wackos would deliberately launch something like Ebola (in spite of entertaining novels from Tom Clancy about them doing just that).
But I can easily see how they would be just fine with letting Ebola run its course. As long as it stayed comfortably far away from them, of course.
Normally I would dismiss such thoughts as too far out to even consider. But our response has been so pathetically poor that I’m beginning to wonder if that is what we are actually seeing.
