Meeting Doctor Doom

Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. Apparently at the speaker's direction, the speech was not video taped by the Academy and so Forrest's may be the only record of what was said. Forrest's account of what he witnessed chilled my soul. Astonishingly, Forrest reports that many of the Academy members present gave the speaker a standing ovation. To date, the Academy has not moved to sanction the speaker or distance itself from the speaker's remarks.

If the professional community has lost its sense of moral outrage when one if their own openly calls for the slow and painful extermination of over 5 billion human beings, then it falls upon the amateur community to be the conscience of science...

The dark irony of Dr. Pinaka's comfort amongst serpents should be a clarion to us all.

[SandRat]

You know, this sounds all to much like the intent of the Envirowacko Villians in Clancey's book RAINBOW-SIX.

[technomage]

Let's hope these fanatics do not create a virus of some sort to do their wishes!

[American Quilter]

I suggest Dr. Pinaka start by killing himself. Lead by example, buddy.

[CarolTX]

Well, if "environmental issues" are the only driving question, then yes...humanity should be happy to go back to scattered hunter-gatherer tribes and a life expectancy of about 30 years.

Pandemic Megadeath. Righteous, dude!

[BenLurkin]

Is this an April's Fool?

No one could be that crazy.

[texasmountainman]

Not to worry, John Clarke and Domingo Chavez will take care of this enviro-wacko!

[CarolTX]

As Dave Berry would say:

"Pandemic Megadeath" would be a great name for a rock band.

[17th Miss Regt]

Indeed, the spirit of Eichmann lives on.

"Figure 1. Dr. Eric R. Pianka and an unidentified woman from the University of Texas at Arlington following a recent speech before the Texas Academy of Science in which Pianka endorsed airborne Ebola as an efficient means for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population. Pianka received an enthusiastic and prolonged standing ovation. Later he received more applause from a banquet hall filled with more than 400 people when the president of the Texas Academy of Science presented him with a plaque naming him 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist."

Individuals such as this sorry case are often possessed. Quite literally, possessed by the devil. The devilish charm his students perceive is additional evidence of this.

Yes, he and his followers should pull a Jim Jones, for the sake of saving the planet if nothing else...

[Libertina]

Did you see this one?

I don't share the same view (wishing humanity a painful destruction) but one could easily draw an analogy between humans on earth and bacteria in a petri dish. The bacteria will reproduce geometrically and consume all the resources quickly. When the food runs out, they all die off.

Stop making excuses for these monsters and hold them responsible for their actions.

[VeritatisSplendor]

that's what Malthus said 200 years ago. but humans can make more food and humans do limit their reproducton.

I'd love for it the measure of justice to be the same as at the end of RAINBOW-SIX for the EnviroWackos.

[Fruit of the Spirit]

More atheist indoctrination!

I think God has removed all reasoning (common sense) from liberal secularists.

[tx_eggman]

He's not the only lunatic out there:

Another scary idiot who agrees..

He's a radical thinker, that one! I mean, he's basically advocating for the death of all but 10% of the current population! And at the risk of sounding just as radical, I think he's right.

This little sweetheart thinks her granparents have outlived their usefullness ...

It's the harsh reality that many people alive right now should be dead. And even harsher to think that the world would be better off with them dead too. My grandparents, who I love dearly and am so incredibly thankful to know, are honestly being kept alive only through the technology that we have created via medicine. The same goes for the millions of other old folk alive and kicking and will continue to do so for another 5-10 years, using up more resources.
