2004-12-11
Calling humanity a threat to the planet, Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai urged democratic reform and an end to corporate greed after becoming the first African woman to collect the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday...

#17  It's amazing how the dinosaurs managed to vanish from the Earth without any human assistance...

#16  "corporate greed" - ha. Ironic to hear this from a resident of the continent whose kleptocrats set the gold standard for thievery and thuggery

#12  Cyclical weather patterns - why do they hate us?

#11  Maathai said a stream where she used to see frogs and tadpoles as a child 50 years ago had dried up. I'm willing to bet thats because of wells that give people clean drinking water. Nothing in this world is without consequences.

Otherwise, Rooters is now refering to 'climate instability'. Might indicate people have started to notice that the wolf of global warming has failed to materialize and the propagandists feel the need to peg back the rhetoric.

#10  Quite true TW, most self-proclaimed environmentalists like the fuzzy and cute creatures; the hyena doesn't have too many spokesmen. Those of us who are truly conservationists would like to see a balance of all creatures to best extent possible. Nature and man are part of the same coin.

#8  This represents the ultimate in self-loathing apologism. Morons who are so obsessed with the preservation of nature that they would suggest removing human life to restore balance epitomize the Quixotic politics of ultra-environmentalists. One can only imagine that they would prefer a school bus full of children plunge off a cliff to avoid running over a rabbit.

I find it striking that wingnuts who spout this sort of nihilistic claptrap nonetheless remain unable to self-actualize their revered doctrine by capping themselves at the earliest opportunity. They lack even the most basic rudiments of leadership.

I guess what this really is must be some misplaced notion of "lebensraum." What these brain-dead navel-gazers actually want is for the rest of humanity to off itself so they no longer have to deal with the great unwashed. Anyone who spews this sort of drivel immediately should be suspected of pushing an elitist agenda.

"Everyone but me is a threat to my happiness."

We've heard this crap before. The Nazis and communists made a career out of spreading such poison. Just because some vacuous nit swaddles this garbage in environmentalist rhetoric doesn't mean it isn't the exact same sort of horseshit.

#6  We really need to restore the top predator populations since the proliferation of the common scapegoat has reached alarming levels in Washington DC.

#5  It would be dangerous to the environment to eradicate the humans until the original top predator populations are restored to viable levels across their original ranges. Without the population control accomplished by predator species, prey populations explode, as described by Malthus, leading to range devastation and depopulation. (See: deer in North America, goats in Sub- and Supra-Saharan Africa, rabbits in Australia)

Honestly! What do they teach environmentalists nowadays?!?

She should lead by example.

#2  I thought this was already ELF's goal.

#1  If humanity is a threat to the planet as she says, why would AIDS be a thing to overcome? Clearly she should be working to spread the virus, block treatments and so forth.
