#1 We've been doomed for over fifty years, if not longer.

...when I first hear him speak to a stunned audience at the University of East Anglia late last year.

Hide the decline, Michael Mann!

#3 I just want to know who cloned Malthus and keeps letting the replicants out of the closet.

#5 Was Hillman the clown that told Earth First that the ideal human population of the planet was ZERO??? And called Homo Sapiens a virus???

#6 I've long wondered why super-lefty California has (1) not stopped the crazy home building rates (2) if building must continue why not enforce stricter standards for insulation and solar on the roofs.

It's almost as if they only pay lip service to the environment on one hand and then cripple the economy to save the endangered smelt on the other.

#7 Hillman, an 86-year-old social scientist

Hah?

#8 I always liked that Dr. Pournelle referred to the social sciences as the voodoo sciences.

#9 I just want to know who cloned Malthus

Just a bit unfair to Malthus - he formulated theories according to the best data available at the time. The peace of shit cited in the current article is nothing like Malthus - and not just because it doesn't have 1% of Malthus' ability as a scientist.

#10 Every one of us is doomed. None will leave this world alive.

#12 He's welcome to self-darwinate like the NYC Lawyer who burned himself to death. Strike a blow to the man, cause dousing yourself with gas and lighting a match is sure to show you mean /business/.

#13 Scratch the surface of a Modern Era Malthusian and you always seem to find a Totalitarianist anxious to rule 'You' (the common folk) for the Common Good Faceless Elite Class.
Back in the late 70's a exposure to SF and World Events clued me in to a common theme where a series of bogeymen: Overpopulation, Pollution, 'Peak [insert Resource here]'. and 'Global Freezing/Warming' all needed a World Government to fix. Experts, "Top Men In The Field", would save the unwashed from Doom!", or so they opined.

Gas and matches are easy to come by. The action mentioned just shows SOMEBODY meant business, not necessarily the deceased.

#15 Is there a term for killing someone and making it look like suicide?

#16 Over nearly 60 years, his research has used factual data to challenge policymakers’ conventional wisdom. In 1972, he criticised out-of-town shopping centres more than 20 years before the government changed planning rules to stop their spread. In 1980, he recommended halting the closure of branch line railways ‐ only now are some closed lines reopening. In 1984, he proposed energy ratings for houses ‐ finally adopted as government policy in 2007. And, more than 40 years ago, he presciently challenged society’s pursuit of economic growth.

He's a totalitarian control freak. A Neo-Communist who would push everyone into concrete gulag apartment buildings lit by an IED bulb with no heat or hot water. "Wear a jacket!". Perhaps if I make a visit to Londonistan I can take a compostible shit on his grave and punch a NHS Doctor and Judge.

Yeah. Arkancide.
