Quoting Holdren, from Earth and the Human Future: Essays in Honor of Harrison Brown:
Harrison Brown’s most remarkable book, The Challenge of Man’s Future, was published more than three decades ago. By the time I read it as a high school student a few years later, the book had been widely acclaimed. … The Challenge of Man’s Future pulled these interests together for me in a way that transformed my thinking about the world and about the sort of career I wanted to pursue. I have always suspected that I am not the only member of my generation whose aspirations and subsequent career were changed by this book of Harrison Brown’s. … As a demonstration of the power of (and necessity for) an interdisciplinary approach to global problems, the book was a tour de force. … Thirty years after Harrison Brown elaborated these positions, it remains difficult to improve on them as a coherent depiction of the perils and challenges we face. Brown’s accomplishment in writing The Challenge

I am stunned. This man has so little faith in the ability of technology to keep pace with population, and so little regard for the sanctity of human life that he has pushed for enforced population controls, including forced sterilization for women after they give birth to a designated number of children and forced abortions. http://zombietime.com/john_holdren/

This guy is a madman. What the hell is Obama doing surrounding himself with these kind of people, let alone putting them in charge of anything that directly affects human life?

Thanks for bringing this atrocity to our attention willhelm.

He support sterilants in drinking water as a means to curb population.

That is very astute of you. I am the convistion that there will never be an over-population problem. It is a ruse. That was mad clear by James Lovelock's book, The Population Bomb, written in the 70s, which suggested 1/2 the population would die due to starvation. Same thing with Global Warming. All they need is a "crisis".

Well, the honeymoon for Obama must be over. As more and more information keeps coming out about Obama and the people he has surrounded himself with, one wonders was there any vetting done at all on anyone or were his loyal subjects rewarded with political plums. Sounds very Chicago politics to me. Get me elected and I'll see to it you have a plum job assignment. Either that or its arrogance 10 to the 100th power! That no one will notice or care if they do notice.

I read that book too, willhelm. It just is common sense that no one factor will ever outweigh another concerning nature. And, yes, the same thing applies to Global Warming as the planet will always find a way to overcome what man does to it.

Satchamo, the honeymoon is over. Obama has no real qualifications for being president. And this only proves, to me anyway, that political parties pick who they think has the best chance for winning, not who are best for the country. This is of course may seem like a very obvious and unnecessary statement, but it used to be that candidates had to at lease have some history that showed their worthiness of presidency. These days it seems the machine is pow...
