Science is not advanced by silencing criticism, and I would argue that Mann’s lawsuit is the best evidence that his research is not trustworthy. Certainly I am not alone among climate-change skeptics in seeing this kind of “science” as just another manifestation of the Paul Ehrlich “Population Bomb” hoax of the 1960s. Mann’s “science” is not about objective analysis of facts; it’s about justifying a totalitarian agenda.
And so the mask is now removed:
“It is obvious the planet can only support so many human beings. We can inflate the numbers through technology, but there are limits.”
Discussions about population are often avoided because, historically, they have sometimes “let us to problematic places where the blame seems to be placed preferentially on the developing world and on people of colour,” says Mann. “The racial overtones that have emerged in the past are problematic and troubling, and we need to flip the switch.
“It is possible to say a population is too large for the planet to support and still recognise the culpability does not apply equally across the board. In the developed world, our footprint is orders of magnitude bigger than in the developing world. More people means more carbon, more warming, and more climate change, but not all people are the same.”
