Gaia has a virus. Us.

One environmentalist is now comparing man to a virus.
Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth.

This guy would like to see the world population shrink to around 1 billion people. I wonder how he would choose to reach that number? Especially since he sees it a necessary to reach that value (one-fifth the current population) almost, well, yesterday.

Watson’s full editorial can be found and read here.
