We're Screwed! We're Buggered! Cooked! Done!

By Frosty Wooldridge

My long time friend Canadian Tim Murray attempts to save his country from mass immigration that leads to overpopulation.  He speaks and writes with a sharp mind.  He is a Galileo of the 21^st century.  He understands carrying capacity, carbon footprint, water footprint, species extinction and energy footprint.

Human population growth in Canada and America cannot continue.  Both countries must come to population stabilization.  In his latest work, he talks about a Doomsday Auction.  It’s worthy of your contemplation.  No matter how much conservation

We thought we were smart enough to manage complex systems!

“But I must at admit you sure put one over on the Sierra Club membership!  You even had them believing that we could “de-couple” economic and population growth from environmental degradation! Those comedians from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Eco-Socialists, what a piece of work they are! And then there is the Queen of Smear from Hampshire College! Good work on character assassination babe! You, Morris Sleaze and the Center for New Community make a great team shutting down debate about crucial environmental concerns !”

“Ladies and Gentle….men!” said Murray. “Welcome to the Doomsday Auction. What we have here tonight is Human Catastrophe offered to you at an incredible price. This is a once-in-a-life time opportunity to make a claim on that disaster which will end civilization as we know it.  You have been brought here by special invitation.  All of you here are prominent and credible threats to humankind, but your challenge tonight is stake a claim to catastrophe by producing evidence that you have the largest constituency of public opinion behind you. That is, the more people who take you seriously, the more attention you deserve. And if you command the most attention then you, and you alone, can take home the prize of being Boogeyman Number One, The Top Dog of Human Catastrophe!

“First, let me introduce viewers to the contestants. We have, in no particular order,  Nuclear Accident, Terrorist Attack,  Global War, Cyber War, Global Warming, Economic Collapse, Fuel Shortage, Oil Spill, Industrial Accident, and Famine.  Sorry, but even though we now have over 7 billion people, “Overpopulation” was not invited to this auction because mainstream environmental organizations refused to size its nomination papers in deference to their corporate donors and political correctness, and the eco-socialists claimed that he was a rich racist who was trying to blame the global poor for his own excesses.  “Natural Non-Renewable Resource Shortages” are not here either because Peak Oilers protested that it was all about energy and that the shortage of minerals and metals vital to an industrial economy were not deserving of a voice—a view seconded by PC book publishers who won’t print any manuscripts from Chris Clugston.

“OK, let’s get rolling. Let’s start the bidding at 5%. Who will offer 5% of public opinion to back their claim to fame as a credible and lethal threat to civilization and life as we know it?

“Industrial Accident? Thank you. Industrial Accident bids 5%. Now Oil Spill bids 6%. Famine? Famine bids 8%! Cyber War has matched you but Fuel Shortage doubles the offer at 15%. It’s Fuel Shortage at 15%. Do I hear 16%? Global Warming raises the offer to 22%!  22% of the people worry about Global Warming. Now Nuclear Accident bids 25%! Its 25% going once, 25%…What’s that? Global War says 27%!  Ladies and Gentlemen its 27%….. now Global Disease Outbreak makes it 33%. It looks like we are witnessing a contest here! And yes, yes….Terrorist Attack I hear you. You bid 44%!  Now Natural Disaster sees you and raises that to 46%! It’s 46% once, 46% twice, 46%…..Economic Collapse, do I see your hand, yes! Is that right? 63%? You have 63% of folks worried about you? Do I hear 64%? Anybody at 64%? It’s 63% going once, 63% going twice, 63% SOLD to Economic Collapse because you sir look like your looming just around the corner!

“Well Ladies and Gentlemen I guess you could have seen it coming. Economic collapse is keeping us awake at night.  That wolf at your door has certainly got your attention hasn’t it? Greens have tried to take your eye off the ball with global warming but who the (expletive) cares about  another meter or two of rising sea water in 60 years when you will be on the bread line tomorrow, and you will have give away your kids to an orphanage!

“If that is not worry enough for you, come back next week and maybe, just maybe, Overpopulation, Peak Everything, Depleting Aquifers, The Collapse of Biodiversity Services and Critical Metal and Mineral Shortages will show up! That’s if tensions in the Gulf don’t trigger a nuclear exchange!

“Have a safe journey home now—- that’s if it hasn’t been foreclosed on you! As the saying goes, if the bailiff doesn’t get you the Grim Reaper will! Now go back to sleep and have an American dream!”

Apparently some corporate donors were paying them to be a one-trick pony.
