There's a portion of the liberal crowd that believes that there are too many people in the world and what would be best for Mother Earth and the environment is a drastic reduction in the number of people who exist. In more simplistic terms, people are bad. No doubt given the opportunity to decide whom to remove from the planet, conservatives would be their first targets.
Unfortunately, now they have some opinion, masquerading as authoritative science behind them in the form of a book called Countdown by Alan Weisman.
It sounds like time to panic.
