‘Today’ Show’s Environmental Solution? Just Get Rid of the Humans!
On Tuesday’s “Today” show Matt Lauer discovered the solution to all the environmental crises Al Gore and his ilk have warned about, there’s just one hitch, it involves the extinction of all mankind. Promoting a book that examined how long it would take for the Earth to clean up “the mess we’ve made” Lauer and his co-host Meredith Vieira pondered how pristine the planet would be without us:
Matt Lauer: “Then we’re gonna talk to the author of a book and this is, really asks an interesting question. The book is called The World Without Us and it asks the question what would happen to planet Earth if human beings were to suddenly disappear. What would happen to our cities? What would happen to our landmarks? How quickly would our streets turn to rivers? How quickly would our farmland turn to forest? What would happen to natural wonders and man made wonders, like the Panama Canal or the Statue of Liberty. We’re gonna talk to the author about that. And really it’s all about trying to figure out how long it would take nature to reclaim what we’ve created.”
Meredith Vieira: “The mess.”
Lauer: “How long it would take nature to fix the mess we’ve made?”

“It’s a morbid observation, but if everyone on earth just stopped breathing for an hour, the greenhouse effect would no longer be a problem.”
—Newsweek Senior Writer Jerry Adler, December 31, 1990 issue.
Nice. Read the whole thing, if you can.
To these people I would say: Save the planet; kill yourselves.
