Lovelock hits it spot on here... " In identifying the root of the climate problem Lovelock coins the word "polyanthroponemia"— a condition in which "humans overpopulate until they do more harm than good." As he explains: The presence of 7 billion people aiming for first-world comforts...is clearly incompatible with the homeostasis of climate but also with chemistry, biological diversity and the economy of the system. Compounding Lovelock's fatalistic prediction of the imminent collapse of our global civilization is his belief that almost everything we're doing to stem the crisis is misguided. """(He does concede that cutting back damaging land use practices such as forest clearance and "cautiously prepar[ing] to reduce emissions" are sensible.) """
