Ecoscience
Just received it in the mail. It’s the mustiest-smelling used book I’ve ever purchased. Nasty. Could be a sign.
Ecoscience is definitely not my idea of a fun read, but I know that I have to at least double-check Zombie Post’s facts on Obama’s new ‘Science Czar’, John Holdren. Not that I don’t trust Zombie Post, but…well…I don’t trust too much, anymore. Gotta see it for myself, if you know what I mean.
If what was posted at ZP is indeed accurate, we can add Holdren to the list of extremely scary people in Obama’s cabinet (if not the scariest).
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, please check my previous post on Holdren.
I’ll keep you posted…
UPDATE:
One fact checked.
On page 787, Holdren et al are explaining ways of controlling population. I can verify that Zombie Post’s scan of this page is accurate. It says, and I quote:
A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men. This of course would be feasible only in countries where the majority of births are medically assisted. Unfortunately, such a program therefore is not practical for most less developed countries (although in China mothers of three children are commonly “expected” to undergo sterilization).
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.
I’m on my lunch so I don’t have time to check more, but I’ll post back later.
