It's hard to imagine how it could have been, but as you should know,
that's not the point. The point is that there are those on the 'eco'
side who, share your lot's indifference and/or hostility to the
wellbeing of humanity and who'd quite be quite comfortable with the
idea of humanity triggering its own catastrophic demise, and the kind
of attitude displayed by "Alan Caruba" would be a nice fit.
************************************************************
Did someone mention "indifference and/or hostility to the wellbeing of
humanity "??
Here are some misanthropic "greenie" quotes!!!
Who's the misanthrope now??
"The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the
like would fit the bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed
attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is
humanity itself." Club of Rome
"The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over
the needs and desires of humans." Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project
"Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social
and environmental." Dave Forman, Founder, Earth First
"Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs." John Davis,
Editor Earth First Journal
"If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a
killer virus to lower human population levels." Prince Phillip, World
Wildlife Fund
"Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social
and environmental." Dave Forman, Founder, Earth First
"I suspect that eradicating smallpox was wrong. It played an important
part in balancing ecosystems." John Davis, Editor, Earth First Journal
"The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a
good thing....This is not to say that the rise of human civilization is
insignificant, but there is no way of showing that it will be much help
to the world in the long run." Economist Editorial
"We, in the green movement, aspire to a cultural model in which killing
a forest will be considered more contemptible and more criminal than the
sale of 6-year-old children to Asian brothels." Carl Amery
"To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world population
problem." Lamont Cole
"Cannibalism is a "radical but realistic solution to the problem of
overpopulation." Lyall Watson, The Financial Times, 15 July 1995
"The only real good technology is no technology at all. Technology is
taxation without representation, imposed by our elitist species (man)
upon the rest of the natural world." John Shuttleworth
"Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, is not as important as
a wild and healthy planets.Some of us can only hope for the right virus
to come along." David Graber, Biologist, National Park Service
"We advocate biodiversity for biodiversity's sake. It may take our
extinction to set things straight." David Foreman, Earth First
"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another
United States: We can't let other countries have the same number of
cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to
stop these Third World countries right where they are. And it is
important to the rest of the world to make sure that they don't suffer
economically by virtue of our stopping them." Michael Oppenheimer,
Environmental Defense Fund
"Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be
destroyed." Pentti Linkola
"If you ask me, it'd be a little short of disastrous for us to discover
a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do
with it. We ought to be looking for energy sources that are adequate for
our needs, but that won't give us the excesses of concentrated energy
with which we could do mischief to the earth or to each other." Amory Lovins
in The Mother Earth-Plowboy Interview, Nov,Dec 1977, p.22

"The right to have children should be a marketable commodity, bought
and traded by individuals but absolutely limited by the state." Kenneth
Boulding, originator of the "Spaceship Earth"
"We have wished, we ecofreaks, for a disaster or for a social change to
come and bomb us into Stone Age, where we might live like Indians in our
valley, with our localism, our appropriate technology, our gardens, our
homemade religion-guilt-free at last!" Stewart Brand, Writing in the Whole
Earth Catalogue
"Free Enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the
freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in
the process.. Capitalism is destroying the earth." Helen Caldicott, Union of
Concerned Scientists
"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists
and their projects.. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam
construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return
to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled
land." David Foreman, Earth First!
"What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global
warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have
approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so
we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and
environmental policy." Timothy Wirth, Former US Senator
"If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human
populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS"
Earth First Newsletter
"Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another
brainless baby." Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists
"The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with
the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization,
mechanization, urbanization and exploding population." Reid Bryson, "Global
Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", 1971
"The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will
undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to

rest of the century." Peter Gwynne, Newsweek, 1976
"There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun
to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic
decline in food production-with serious political implications for just
about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin
quite soon. The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun
to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep
up with it." Newsweek, April 28 1975
"This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it
continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine,
world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year
2000." Lowell Ponte, "The Cooling", 1976
"If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees
colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees

us in an ice age." Kenneth E.F. Watt, Earth Day, 1970
