Bob Woodruff discusses human breeding with Les Knight in Portland, Oregon

Bob Woodruff interviews Les Knight and Nina Paley about VHEMT. Paul Murtaugh, Statistics professor at Oregon State Unversity, explains that each additional human we create in the US adds 9,000 tons of CO2—the equivalent of a year’s emissions from 1,700 cars. Full episode included interviews of Jared Diamond, author of Collapse, Robert Walker of The Population Institute, Thomas Friedman, of the New York Times, and Julianne Smith of the Center for Strategic International Studies.

Fluffy morning show. Asked if I was for real. “Of course I’m real, I’m on TV.” It was also surreal as all I saw was a lens and a bank of lights. They asked if VHEMT is a cult and couldn’t quite place us.

Interview with Les Knight starts at 49:00. Video of Alex on the air doesn’t quite match the audio, but it’s a radio program.
Alex promotes an odd conspiracy theory about human “depopulation” by the “elite” who want to eliminate billions of us with a disease or poison from contrails so they can have the planet to themselves. Somehow those in power preventing people from accessing contraceptive services secretly want fewer people. Must be trying to lull us into thinking otherwise. With the impression that I was either one of the elite or their unwitting tool, Alex was rather confrontational with me.

Nancy, filling in for Colmes, understood what I was talking about, but a random counter-guest, New York radio talk show host Curtis Sliwa, expressed the common misconception that we are advocating euthanasia and suicide. Our breeding is a mental blind spot when thinking about improved population density, so death fills the vision. Curtis considers our species to be “the most creative force, the most dynamic force, in this entire universe.” House cats seem to hold the same opinion about their species.
