As early as 1864 George Perkins Marsh, sometimes said to be the father of American ecology, warned that the earth was “fast becoming an unfit home for its ‘noblest inhabitant,” and that unless men changed their ways it would be reduced “to such a condition of impoverished productiveness, of shattered surface, of climatic excess, as to threaten the depravation, barbarism, and perhaps even extinction of the species”

College students must protest something. It seems like a right of passage. That’s why Mckibben and the leftist activitist spend so much time on college campuses talking to the mush heads. A lot of them are over-privileged trust-fund babies who feel unfulfilled in life. Protests to college students is much like kids throwing tantrums testing their control. They are easy pickings for people like Mckibben who knows that they are gullible.
IF this model is correct then Malthusians will have a fit. 🙂
