I think perhaps you are showing a bit of professional jealousy. I judge his words by my own knowledge of the subject and he is spot on with what he says.

I'm not fond of the people with whom he associates. I've read two of his books. We disagree on a number of issues, particularly as regards how to re-establish native post disturbance forbs.

I just started looking at his further writings. But, you are welcome to your opinion. I guess you like being a minority of one though.

No, but thanks anyway.

I get that, but just the same you probably wouldn't like the folks I associate with. I really don't know who in particular you are talking about so this is a bit blind. What he says and how he backs it up would make about 50% of my friends heads explode.

But, he left GreenPeace for ethical reasons and has spent his time arguing for change and the environment in a way that assumes that half of mankind needs to be eliminated to solve the problem. Instead he assumes we have to find a way to sustain ourselves and not solve the problem through accepting atrocities and then argues how we might do that.

He supports nuclear power, genetically modified foods, he is a big advocate of heat pumps and other sane ideas. I have read a number of his articles now and find him to be pragmatic and open to facts and reason and changes his position when the science provides that a better way is more reasonable.

So we are left with your complaint about his friends. Which friend or friends of his are so disturbing to you?
