The biggest problem I see with this book is Milloy’s pointing out so-called “contradictions” in the philosophy of “greens”. That is like pointing out how all “religious folk” contradict one another. There are many ways to be religious, and striving toward a life valuing God does not mean your life will parallel that of another with the same goal. The author needs to look at the ultimate values of different people who set forth DIFFERENT assertions and theories and see if they truly are contradicting themselves in their search for a common goal: a better, more secure tomorrow. Simply because people who believe in thwarting global warming have different ideas of how to achieve this goal does not make them flaky, inconsistent, or ignorant.

Actually, the VHEMt is one of the groups that the author mentions in the book in the same chapter that he first talks about Erhlich. He writes is, “…population control advocates have revised their argument in one crucial way: they now cite global warming to justify population control.” So yes, I would say there is a connection.

I wonder if there is a connection between the warmists and the VHEMt…Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. See http://www.vhemt.org/ or http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Voluntary_Human_Extinction_Movement
