Shocker!
Jim McGinnis, a member of the Ashland Conservation Commission and a climate change specialist with the U.S. Forest Service, said the nation’s increasing gross national product and consumption cannot be sustained in the long term.
“The standard of living must level off,” said McGinnis, a lecturer with Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project. “This country consumes five Earths, while India consumes one-tenth of an Earth.” An “Earth,” he explained, is the level of human consumption that can be sustained by a population year-to-year.
Obviously, what he means is that Other People’s standard of living must level off. The alarmists do actually want to drag the world (well, everyone else in the world but themselves) back to the 1400’s.
