04/12/2008: "Overpopulation taboo divides environmentalists"

In case you haven't been following the roiling controversy within the Sierra Club, a group of insurgents seeking seats on the Board of Directors have been smeared as radical right-wing extremists by the Club’s fearful permanent officials.

Three outstanding candidates running for the Board believe that America's skyrocketing overpopulation, driven by out-of-control mass immigration, must be addressed. They want the Club to return to the position it held until 1996: to "bring about the stabilization of the population first of the United States and then of the world."

[ In scientific terms, x number of people times y minimum resources = environmental impact. Even if the west cuts back its resource use to nearly nothing, the rest of the world dwarfs it in size and impact, which makes them more environmentally irresponsible for breeding out of control until there are six billion of them -- while the West has kept its numbers consistent and growth low. The third world, and the proliferation of idiots in the first world, is the source of our environmental crisis, not a failure to recycle tampons, turn off taps, disconnect sleeping appliances and clothe ourselves in newspaper. ]
