This is a good example of how self-appointed experts seldom get it right. Jared Diamond is a specialist in, the tissues of the gall bladder. Like many home-made environmentalists, he offered a tendentious and largely unvalidated theory capitalizing on pop pseudo-intellectual trends like "sustainability."

The hard grunt work of real investigators offers a scenario that makes so much more sense.

Absolutely. But our self-appointed "saviors" like Diamond seem to get most of the media attention. Perceptions, not facts, seem to dominate political discussions, especially environmental ones.
