The Great Thunberg Future

Back before we swore off Television, the great Satan, we would sometimes tune in to "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" I believe the program was called where Jacques Cousteau in a strong French accent explored the oceans with his ship Calypso filming research adventures at sea. Many Baby Boomers like me must have tuned in along with their parents. This was quite awhile ago, mind you.

His name came across my radar screen in a recent post of mine in a series of shocking quotes. From another source here's the quote again slightly expanded:

Jacques Cousteau, the internationally respected oceanographer, explained to the UNESCO Courier in an interview in November 1991: “The damage people cause to the planet is a function of demographics—it is equal to the degree of development. One American burdens the earth much more than twenty Bangladeshes. The damage is directly linked to consumption. Our society is turning toward more and needless consumption. It is a vicious circle that I compare to cancer.” He then added: “This is a terrible thing to say. In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it.”

That quote came from this article discussing that which only liberals and survivalists like to discuss:
