Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.â€

We must eliminate people.
“Our society is turning toward more and more needless consumption. It is a vicious circle that I compare to cancer . . . . Should we eliminate suffering, diseases? The idea is beautiful, but perhaps not a benefit for the long term. We should not allow our dread of diseases to endanger the future of our species. . . . In order to stabilize world population, we need to eliminate 350,000 people a day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it.”
- Jacques Cousteau , November 1991.
Feeding starving children.
“To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world overpopulation problem.”
