ECOLOGICAL INSANITY

But it's for Gaia, of course.

David Thompson mocks an article by Alex Renton, which can be summarized quite succintly:

Poor societies - like Bangladesh - produce very little C02 per capita; rich societies - like us - produce large amounts of C02 per capita. Therefore a cull of rich societies would be at least 60 times as productive (for Gaia) as one of poor societies.

So Gaia is best served by a poverty-striken, disease-ridden , pollution-filled society, where life is brutal, hellish, and short? This is the progressive vision for Gaia?

I think not.
