Americans, the world's greatest per-capita emitters of greenhouse gas emissions, produce about 20 tons of the stuff per person, per year. If we were to cut that in half, as emissions rose with the quality of life in much of the Third World, and everyone on the planet met around 10 tons per person, per year, simple multiplication says we'd collectively emit 90 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually come 2050.

This jackass thinks the West should relegate itself to oblivion while the non-producing world explodes.

As much as this guy professes to give a damn about world overpopulation and dwindling resources, you'll never see him advocate for Blacks or Hispanics to regulate the size of their families. It's only the Whites in the U.S. or Europe who are the abusers of global resources.

The nations with the most going on intellectually, creatively, and a business acumen, are the ones he wishes to see fade away.

What then, when the world's masses of poor have expanded exponentially beyond what the producing nations can support?

Hell if this asshole knows...

So what’s their point? They seem to think cutting carbon emissions is an end unto itself. What is the point of doing that? Perhaps to preserve their perception of quality of life of people living on this planet?

Or it’s simply for the planet itself with no consideration of the human cost at all.

Great message, we need to die off to preserve the planet for no apparent reason except to assuage their guilt or their perception of aesthetics.

Fuzzy caterpillars good, humans bad. Why? Because they said so, that’s why.

I smell Soros/Tides.

Hmmm... he said cut it in half, does this mean he kills one of his sons? I think not.

Bonus: married to a science teacher.

Environmental Journalist Andrew Revkin Awarded for Groundbreaking Reporting
November, ‘08

Snip:

Scheduled to appear at the Chancellor award ceremony in support of Revkin was Dr. James Hansen, head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a major voice on public action on global warming. Hansen has long been a critic of the Bush administration’s stonewalling of global warming, and its censoring of scientific information (something Revkin covered extensively, including working from memos he obtained from government workers). Andy first started reporting on Hansen’s work back in the late 80s, when the young journalist was producing some of the best coverage on the emerging issue of climate change.
